Secondary storage of smartphones could be as big as 8MB. However, smartphone operating systems still do not support virtual memory. Study programms running on Symbian OS and find if many of them are restricted due to lack of main memory. Research the possibility and practicallity of extending programs by allowing parts of running program to temporarily move to flash memory.
