Google Cripples the Developer By Limiting Apps Storage Paid apps for the T-Mobile G1 are being stored in special folders and can not be backed up on the SD card ... just the same as pre-loaded apps.
So are we to assume that Google is maintaining these special folders in the "cloud" somewhere so they can be reinstalled in the event your phone is damaged/lost/stolen ... ??? This would also go to indicate that Google will NEVER allow these apps to be installed and run from the SDCard... (for a non-rooted phone) ... It might still be possible to store your free apps and third-party apps on the SDCard and run them from there to help with the memory issue ... Doesn't sound like this is a likely senario that Google will follow ... For me this is serious limit to the future value of the G1... It makes no sense to fatally limit/cripple the phone to this degree. *IF* this does turn out to be the case then it will finish my brief affair with Android. I like the platform but the current handsets do not have enough internal storage to be considered a practical device for applications that in all eventuality will become more space demanding. If in the future, handsets start to appear with 8GB internal then I may consider returning but as it is, I will not be buying any applications until the storage situation is sorted. And I will not invest in another Android handset either. This is a serious development to all the software developers until a suitable platform appears.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
