App STorage For Incredible

[arkarkwin]

Hi,
I am a Nexus one user and a Noob, I have a question about app storage for Droid Incredible. Since Droid Incredible has internal memory, I like to know whether we can use that space for installing App. I understand that Droid incredible has 8 GB compares to Nexus One 512MB. Even on Froyo, my Nexus one has limited space for installing app and I am just curious how Droid Incredible handle it. Did Droid Incredible used its whole 8 GB for Apps or is its apps storage is as limited as Nexus one?
Thank.

The Incredible still only has 512MB of app storage. The rest of that 8GB goes to acting as internal storage for other things.
Really, on my Droid, I've been fine with what little storage they give me. But if you really need 8 gigs of app storage (overkill, IMHO), the X has it, and I think the Droid 2 will have it.

Mine shows 748mb of total Phone memory.

The 8 gb acts as a memory card for storing pictures and music and such. While the 748 mb is for applicatons.

Correct,thats why I'm not sure why MowDownJoe's only shows 512mb.?

Not that I am holding my breath or anything but won't froyo give us the option to download our applications to the SD card? I know it is not the internal storage we are talking about, but it is still a great option for somoene who is concerned about application storage.

Froyo does give us the option to move app to SD card. In my experience, only 4 apps out of 39 apps I installed give us the ability to move to SD option. And they were all app that use less than 1MB, expect for Pandora radio. I wish storage hungry apps like Adobe flash, Verizon remote, DVR manager, Amazon Kindle, and Dolphin browser to give us this ability. Independent developer usually enable this option but app from big companies usually don't.

If that is a feature you want, email them with feedback. If they know users want that feature, they will be more likely to spend the time to add it into their apps.
