Hmmm.... I've been thinking about using a database to store a lot of data (several MB in text format). Is the sqlite db moved to the SD card when the app is moved or is it always on the internal memory? I'd rather not leave a big table on the phone's internal memory. Right now I have this data in a combination of internal arrays declared in the app itself and in a collection of html files in / assets
