> I've wondered for a while how fast we could make a phone (or PC) that operated entirely in RAM disk and used flash storage just as a one-to-one backup and storage when powered off. Obviously this would require your phone to have 128GB of RAM. You'd write changes to the flash storage, but it'd mirror RAM as closely as possible without destroying power management or storage life.

PuppyLinux did this for the Eee PC. Worked wonderfully. The only problem was that the distro eventually became outdated, filled with old packages.
