So, I was able to switch where the RSS Hub stores - and it moved all files to the Internal Storage (which I think is what the memory display shows as "storage card").

Now, I'm wondering if I screwed up by installing apps like eWallet, evernote, qik, TwitterMyFlickr, etc., on the device instead of the larger Internal Storage?
Installing apps on the device is fine and generally more stable. You just want to setup their data storage to go the "storage card". If an app is to stupid to seperate them (i.e. not allow you to specify and defaults to where ever it's installed) then install it on the storage card. But programs that are that brain dead usually are not worth installing.
