Program storage...Where?

[izzyforreal]

What is the preferred location for program storage? What are the pros and cons of main memory versus storage card? Thanks.

I always start with the card as most applications that just gotta be in main memory will prompt you of that requirement when you begin installation. Start up time may take a bit longer, but operation should be as usual.

I see no point in storing programs on the memory card. What do these phones have? Something like 300 or 400 mb internal storage available, and the Average cab is 2-4mb. You would need alot of programs installed to start filling it up, and at that point you would probably have other problems then internal storage space. I would think that startup times and speed would be slower with programs on the card, and I like to keep my storage card clear and organized so I can easily find what I'm looking for (pictures, movies, videos, and music), because thats what a 16gb card is made for...

Programs internal, Data on card. That's the way I roll

The internal storage has plenty of space for all of your programs. I install all of mine there, it is faster, anyway. My SDHC card is still horribly slow (120kb/sec max on a class 6 card FTL) and loading programs would be extremely painful.

I keep all my music, .cabs, and other files on the card though.

Here is the rule I stick too with storage.

Games no question storage card to big and load time is the only thing that will be slower they run fine once loaded

GPS Software program goes main memory and all maps go storagage card

all other software main mem unless they are extremely big

software just runs better in main memory

resco explorer main mem

pocket manchanic main mem

S2U2 main mem

TOMTOM program main mem maps storage card

music, videos, pictures storage card
