This was the "fear" and main concern at the time. Also, this was before all the solutions you mention even existed. So to comment current opinions and solutions with valid concerns on issues on topics over a year ago is not a valid argument. The article itself would probably not be updated, however we can write a new article on the topic expressing improvements of installing apps to SD card. Google even recently announced they're working on solutions to allow app installs on SD cards, without all the techno developer hoopla suitable for everyday consumers. I would hope readers are savvy enough to check the date stamp when reading old articles and understand this was an issue then, but probably won't be in the coming months with new software releases.

By rooting your phone (which shouldn't be any harder than jailbreaking the iPhone, look up your model on http://theunlockr.com ) you can partition your SD card and move your Apps to it. You can also create swap-space on the card, which can improve the speed of your hardware if your firmware supports it. For example, the HTC Hero can be installed with Modaco's firmware, which supports Swap and Apps2SD as a built-in feature, and the Amon-Ra recovery image supports partitioning and moving of Apps and Dalvik. You also get Wifi tethering built in for any computer OS (including Mac, at last), powerful GPS-based phone-finding security, Backup software, and you can install Market Enabler to gain full access to the Market from wherever you are (so you don't need to resort to Piracy!). Hope this helped assuage some fears, but the author of this article should *seriously* update this, it's ancient and scaremongering. This article is archaic.

Don't install so many apps that you reach the capacity of your internal memory or you will have to do a hard reset and loose all data to get enough memory to even launch the app that allows you to make a phone call. Then call to have your security settings reset. 2. Remove all duplicate apps. Test right away remove the ones that crash or you don't like. 3. Wireless may not be able to connect to multi protocols such as Wireless Routers that are set up to connect to wireless G and B Nics. as well as N. Must be N only... 4. Install a Quick un-installer to remove completely from the phone. 5. Use a good Task killer to make sure the service and process is not running for the app you just killed. 6. Find and use a backup utility that will backup the apps, Contacts, Pictures, Music and notes to the SD Card and allow you to re-install them again. There are a few that work rather well. 7. Make sure you completely shut down and restart your phone after you install several apps. This helps with the crashing. Have fun folks...

They do this to stop people from copying programs to each other but they will learn that people will just hack there phones so they can run it off of the memory card. They are limiting the public to a small fraction of programs in the market because of a space issue with the internal memory and that just won't satisfy people who bought this phone for the potential of what a smart phone can do.

I will never buy another google phone again until they solve this problem. The OS is good but the person who decided to put a 128mb internal memory should be skinned alive and dip in sea water for being a retard. G2 is about to come out and this problem still have not been solved. Remember people, every time you uninstall a app everybody should make the reason "low space" even if your just trying to test the app. Well this is my 1st google phone.

No A2DP or storage of programs on the SD. I bought an 8 gig micro sd in anticipation of storing programs, etc. Now I have a phone that is full of programs and thus runs sluggishly. What is the sd for? Music? If I wanted a music phone I would have bought an iphone or something like that. Get over it google and let us store on the sd. If not I can guarentee I won't buy another google phone and you will be dooming the android os. What a rip off. No A2DP or storage of programs on the SD.

It looks like Rooting and JF'ing the rom is the only way we'll see a fix, unless you have a developer G1, but then you can't get paid apps because of a flaw that let's you grab paid apps for free from their storage area on the google server... this is kind of like the Iroq war, lot's of time a money and thought went into getting there... but not much went into ok now we're here NOW WHAT? my backup is fine but it doesn’t allow you to run apps from the sd card and say internal memory, which is the point of this.
