cesine commented on CB-5920:
----------------------------
I don't mind adding it to my own apps, but the real concern here is for Cordova
users who actually don't know much Android. They will have lots of
deactivations, and loose users, and not know why... In Montreal, many of the
apps for events and festivals use Cordova, these apps are huge with lots of
image and video assets, they should be on the sdcard but the developers who
make them only know iOS, and wouldnt think there was an option they could
choose that would reduce the space the app consumed.

> for phones with small amounts of internal storage (512MB and even 1GB,
> android 2.2 and 2.3 and even some 4.0) the user wont be able to install the
> app (or keep it) unless you let them put it on the sdcard instead of the
> internal phone storage. Very few cordova apps are the kind of app which
> shouldn't be on external storage.
