Indeed, I can't believe that this old wives' tale is still all over the net. ]]>Feb 22nd 2010 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/
Wait, where is the post I responded to? Is it deleted because he mentioned a certain Android tool that allows this already? Did that fall under "no advertising?" ]]>Feb 22nd 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/Feb 22nd 2010 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/Feb 22nd 2010 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/
It's weird how I was able to just copy the folder of the app I installed from Marketplace, and paste it onto my storage card.

Maybe I was just lucky, but this is by far a better alternative.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/Same here.

When will Marketplace start getting more apps and more choice?]]>Feb 22nd 2010 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/
Probably not till 7 sadly. There's no point developing for WinMo 6 at the moment with the other bunch of OS's around.

WinMo has been doing it for ages as well. To clarify, because many people here seem to not know exactly what is going on, you have always been able to install apps on WinMo to a Storage Card. However, this recent update added the ability to install to the storage card for apps purchased through the built in Mobile Marketplace that comes with WinMo 6.5 devices and can be installed on any WinMo 6.0/6.1 device.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/
That too, Symbian phones have been able to do it for quite some time now. Not dissing WinMo; just saying Symbian isn't as obsolete as some claims. The only thing it really needs is an UI revamp.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/Feb 23rd 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/Feb 22nd 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/i am excited about updates till Windows phone 7 rolls out.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/

I wish engadget didn't leave out important details like that. Seems relevant to mention that at least we've been told they're working on it.

(BTW, the default Camera app on Android use the SD card to store photos.

They could. They just added that option to the Marketplace.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/
How pathetic. I actually feel bad for the fact that Chris was asked to write and post it.

P.S. I'm already bored of the WinMo 7 UI. Combined with the fact there are no visual cues for where to press. That stuff is stanky.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/Feb 22nd 2010 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/LOL would you prefer a phone to have half the screen devoted to an "OMG DUDE PRESS HERE TO DO SOMETHING!!" button?

I think the whole point of the Windows Phone 7 Series and Zune HD UI is that you will figure it out fairly quickly and at that point it makes more sense to use as much of the screen as possible for actual information to be displayed.]]>Feb 22nd 2010 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/
Note to MS: There is no smartphone UI problem. There is, however, an issue between WinMo platform devs who have totally reamed just so you can chase a market that Apple and Google have pulled right out from under you. See you at the launch in November, bugs and all.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/22/windows-marketplace-tweaked-installs-to-storage-cards-now-possi/

I have the CoPilot GPS app on my Android phone (500MB+) and the Spotify streaming music service with music available offline (1GB+).
