Yes, although I imagine there are devices that are RAM limited.
I have enough ram not to be ram limited, but for example per my "running" tab, tunein radio pro burns up about 20 megs continuously. No idea why and I don't think I'm getting 20 megs worth of battery draining "anything" out of it. Too bad, because when I'm actually using it, its an awesome app. Google Goggles burns a bit less than 6 megs continuously, even if you're not using it, to do... what exactly?
This all costs battery, if nothing else. I'd rather have an extra hour of runtime rather than goggles and tunein starting up slightly faster when I use them.
There should be a configurable android setting where "piggish" apps can ask to start a battery sucking and ram sucking 24x7x365 service, but this specific app is simply not allowed to do so because its a pig-app.
