the iPhone V1 and 3G has 128MB of RAM. (not storage which is between 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB) The OS and main system functions use a large portion of that 128, which leaves an average of around 40MB available to run apps. This is one of the reasons that the New 3Gs has 256MB of RAM. More available resources to run apps smoother, plus I see it as preparation for multi-tasking - since that is one of the main things that the iPhone is still lacking in.
