I personally prefer a sd card so that over time I can increase the capacity of the sd card rather than throwing the whole phone out.

Seems kind of dumb to me to replace an entire phone when you can just update the sd card capacity.

This is a definitely an issue with ease of use for non-technical users (most everyone in the world).  My IT customers don’t want to have to know to replace an SD card or get a full error MSG.    They just want their app on the phone. I have currently 2 gig of apps on my phone.  This issue came up on this list before and there are hacks for this.  Non-technical users don’t want to do this. I don’t understand why they just don’t do what Apple does and just give you 4gig or 32gig built in memory.  

Why do I need to add or remove and upgrade an SD card?  Seems very old school to me.

This reminds me when I had a WinMo phone and ran out space because I had a lot of emails.  I then had to move my apps to an SD card I had to buy and tell WinMo to store the attachments on the SD card.  What a pain in the ass. Currently on the iPhone I have over 600Meg of emails.

I hope Google makes this better in the future as the idea and concept of their OS is very cool.  I hope they don’t get WinMo’d...LOL.  They need to make this seamless to end-users.  

Multitouch came up in the QA of Google’s presentation. Why don’t they fully support it in their apps?  There must be patent issues here as this is supported in Europe.  Yes there is a hack, but then again what regular user wants to do this hack.  People reported that the hack slows down the phone (not my personal experience, but just what I have read over the past several days.). You may also argue that it is not a big deal, however in comparison to the iPhone it seems old school.  

Google needs to think of their non-technical customers.

Subject: Re: [newtech-1] Nexus

That's a bit of a red herring.  First, you can replace the 4 gig microSD card with up to a 32 gig card.  Second, all data can be stored on the card, including application data--that's what typically takes up the most memory (images, media, etc.), not the apps themselves.  Third, it's not even remotely conceivable that you could install enough phone apps to use up 4 gigs of space, let alone 16.  Even on my G1 I haven't had any issues installing whatever I want, and it has considerably less memory than the Nexus.

Saw this tidbit worthy of passing on:

Walt Mossberg points out one limitation: "On the Nexus One, only 190 megabytes of its total 4.5 gigabytes of memory is allowed for storing apps. On the $199 iPhone, nearly all of the 16 gigabytes of memory can be used for apps."
