The kind of person that picks up an Android phone is tech-savvy enough to handle manual file storage. I like it, actually, because it lets me use my phone as a flash drive.
Regarding app data, from the Gizmodo liveblog:
They store apps in the internal ROM and not on the SD card now, for piracy reasons, but they will offer an upgrade soon for installing apps on the SD card.
- jrockway 17y agoThe piracy reasons are silly. It is trivial to copy Android apps from one phone to another, "private" or not.
- durin42 17y agoWithout rooting the phone, how is this trivial?
- callahad 17y agoDoes buying the dev phone count as rooting?
- houseabsolute 17y agoYou betcha.
- colinplamondon 17y agoThat's why they're still a niche player- it's far too much about techies and open source fans right now, and that will poison the App Store selection moving forward for the mainstream.
- litewulf 17y agoThis seems like the sort of thing you complain about/discover well after buying the phone though. I think there are things that hurt Android'd market share that totally dominate over something like this.
- ubernostrum 17y agoThis seems like the sort of thing you complain about/discover well after buying the phone though. For now, yes. When enough people have complained about it after getting their phones, though, it may be a different story.
