I am curious why you would need to store 4GB or more of data on a phone? That's a whopping large bit of data for a phone device? Perhaps you should consider using a server side component for the majority of data, make use of it when possible and store immediate need stuff on the device? Furthermore.. I sure hope you can specify storing SQLlite db to the SD Card? That would be insane to be stuck with the same 256MB ram for app storage as the sqlite db space too.
