increasing the value of the inSampleSize will decrease the memory overhead required to load the image. Change it to 8,12 or 16... and the image should eventually load but it might not look very good.

However, it seems like you might be using a good bit of memory prior to the load.

Use System.getRuntime() to get the runtime and then see what your max memory, total memory and free memory are to better understand how much space you have.

It's possible you are leaking memory prior to this allocation.

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Runtime.html

also (annoyingly) if you are using a device that can't run android 3.0 not all of the memory used will show up in the runtime calls. consider using a 3.0 device to more fully understand the memory usage.
