when truncate command is issued, all the rows from the
table are deleted and the memory space occupied by the
table in the tablespace is also released

It will release tablespace .What prompt to u say that it will not release the space if u highlight a bit then i can give a better explanation .
Do one thing , u load records say 20K and more and then try to truncate the records manually and parallell observe the OEM (diagrammatical representation ) and u will clearly see that its releasing space .
