As for the 256k, you mean 256mb. And that is the total storage for the six currently running apps. If I recall, their most intensive application takes 33mb of ram, though, that will be pushed eventually. Bejeweled is 11mb of running memory. There is a 'Heroes' adventure game that is supposed to be released that is going to take 96mb, but, there is talk that they will split it into a core and read the built in storage for maps/scenes.

Their GPS app was stated as only 1.1mb of application memory since it used so many API hooks and was mostly a webapp with a local windowing app.

As for not being able to talk and surf at the same time, that is a CDMA limitation on Verizon's network. UTMS 3G, used on TMobile and AT&T, do support dual voice/data. Verizon's new LTE deployment will support voice/data channels, but, will require new phones.
