The Pre ships with 32 times more flash (8gb vs 256mb) than the G1 did (excluding the bundled SD card, which can't be used for binaries anyway).

Comparing the amount of flash on the devices is pretty meaningless. On the Pre, it's used for
storing user data. I don't know how big the Pre OS is, but I'm damn sure it's nowhere
*near* 8GB.

I have a fair number of third party webos apps installed in the above though.
