    Hi,

    A year or two ago I recall reading about one of the Android OS major issues being its limitation to how many applications can be installed or used in same time and that they are limited to its internal RAM and only multimedia can be placed on its internal flash drive... or something like that - unlike the iPhone (apologies if not accurate with this info).

    Just wanted to know if this is the same status with version 2.3 or version 3.0 altogether.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Nope. As of Froyo apps can be moved to SD if they are enabled to do so. Note that apps are never 100% moved to the SD card though. There's always part of the app still in internal storage and, in some cases, it's a considerable percentage.

    Also note that RAM isn't the same thing as internal storage.
