I have a Droid X running 2.2.
I'm trying to understand the advantages of storing apps on the SD Card vs Phone storage.
Since the Droid X comes with 8GB of phone storage, I've got lots of room there.
What would be some reasoning behind moving apps to the SD card? I see lots of people get excited when a favorite app adds SD card support, but why exactly? Maybe it's more of an advantage for phones with less phone storage?
Also, how come in manage applications, it says that the app takes up way less space when it's on the SD Card?
For example, I just installed Angry Birds and it put itself on the SD Card when it installed. It showed 1.83MB in size. When I moved it to the SD Card, it showed 14.06MB.
Why is that?!
