Accepted Answer

the 4GB or 8GB is internal storage.  you can add storage via Micro SDHC card or even USB attached flash keys or hard drives so you don;t really need to buy the 8 gb version.

However, some apps won;t see or use that external storage seamlessly and will default to the built in storage for storing stuff.  not a big deal.

the amount of memory makes no difference in the performance for streaming.  that;s all driven by the CPU and RAM of which this has a limited amount like your cell phone(it;s a single core cpu).  Performance wise, it works well enough because the hardware GPU video chipset is supported by the ROM.
