SD Card Installation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you please allow this application to be installed on the SD card? This is a 
new feature in Froyo.

Thanks,
Ibrahim

There is no reason to do it. Android still keeps part of the files in the 
internal memory and just part of the files is moved to the SD card. It makes 
sense for large applications like games, where several megabytes of graphics 
and resources will be moved to the SD card. For the apps like this, there will 
be still ~100KB in the phone memory and also ~100KB on the SD, so it makes no 
sense at all.

I've tried it with MarketAccess and decided not to include such an option.

you are right but you have to give users a choice (thats why auto).
It will just move the apk itself onto the sdcard but all data that has been 
generated, including db's will be left on the device.
