managed to get the data and the amount of system memory on board the device found 682 MB of “RAM”. Jay Lee suggests that the total amount of memory is 1 GB.

is expected that in 2013 the supply of smart points increase by 150% over 2012 to 124 thousand units, mainly due to demand of software developers who want to integrate into a new direction, to become the first to develop software for the new items.
