wants a droid, but limited storage space?

I read that it only has about 256mb for apps, and you can't install anything on the sd card. I don't do alot of gaming, but they do have alot of apps that i wanna get a hold of. how big are the apps anyways, and do ya'll think 20 apps would take up the whole storage amount?

Re: wants a droid, but limited storage space?

I dont think this is going to be a problem. I've already installed 32 apps to mine and I still have 201mb of the 256mb available. I do believe it wont be long before developers make it possible to install apps to the SD card, but I'm not so sure I'll even need that capability.

Na, the apts are normally very light client side, 1.4mb was the largest one I have thus far. Most of the content is streamed to the phone in most cases.

Re: wants a droid, but limited storage space?

android is linux based and therefore the memory is allocated differently. your able to store allot more then a windows based system. thats one of the reasons the linux netbooks you see all have smaller solid state drives in them.

Any pictures or videos you take with the phone go straight to the sd card. You can also store movies, music, docs, pretty much anything you want on it. I already have 26 movies and a few gigs worth of music in mine along with several wallpapers I've downloaded and created and I'm down to 5 gigs available. I might cut back to just keeping 10 or 15 movies in it. I dont think it's compatible with divx though, it primarily uses mp4 like the iphone does. If you need any help converting movies to put on it there are lots of places tht have info available on how to do it, or you can just PM me

Plus the apps store data on the card (caches etc) just the binary itself sits on the memory.

Re: wants a droid, but limited storage space?

Actually most apps are no more than 2 megs, however for something like a game that require large video or sound files. That data can be stored on the SD card, only executables need be stored in phone memory. I LOVE my Droid, coming from a HTC Vogue thia thing is utterly amazing!
