If you partition the card EVERYTHING will be erased so back everything you want up.

It means that it is creating a section on your memory card for your apps to install too. Its like creating a virtual memory card on your current card. Allocating space that are seperate from each other.

This is one reason why i like how the iphone/Palm Pre has it set up. sure you can't expand your storage, 8-16 gigs is usually enough and you don't have to worry about running out of space for apps. I think Android should requires at least 1gb of space on the phone for installing apps to. 1gb of storage should be plenty.

Anyways, now that my rant is over. if I use Apps2sd and get a new SD card, will i have to reinstal everything, or will i be able to back them up?

I think the problem is that we can natively put Apps on the SD card. When we can do that there will be no reason for needing internal memory. I agree that we need about 1gb/1gb rom ram, but I don't think it should have to be used for apps.

You need to back up all your stuff from the sd card then partition. Reboot phone and it will put all apps on sd, no need for you to redownload them, and put all your stuff back on it.

That's one thing that I miss from the WM phones. You can't choose where you would like apps to be installed.

I'm trying to run iGO but i'm out of memory on my phone.. :( I can't install it..

so Iwhat i've gathered from this thread are mostly disavantages of using apps to sd. If you use less than 100 apps, then there doesn't seem to be a need to do this. Are there any REALLY significant advantages?

More space on your phone. I had a few big apps and I actually have less than 100, but I ran into low memory problems so I went a2sd2.
