> Do you know much about the data storage on Android?

Keep in mind that Android is a software platform that is designed to
run on a variety of hardware. That being said, remember that most
mobile devices have very limited internal memory by desktop/server
standards. Its likely that not all Android devices will have an SD
card.

You can store anything you want on an SD card, if present. The
SQLiteDatabase class ( 
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html
) takes a path argument when creating a new database. On Android you
can access the SD card at /sdcard . Keep in mind that things on the SD
card are generally world readable, which means items stored here can
be read by other applications.
