Make sure you have a file manager to access them. Main screen>menu>settings>applications>manage applications.

You can move user installed apps, not system apps. Widgets need to stay in phone, not sd card. Launchers should stay on phone as well.

This can't be done with a stock 2.1 Hero. The only way is to root and install the apps 2 sd script to allow moving of apps to the sd card.

Moving app data to the sd card was allowed on Android 2.2 (Froyo). But even then it was only a small portion of the data that was permitted to be moved.

1. lol It's pretty easy actually. Follow the information provided in the above thread. it's a matter of downloading the files onto the phone and letting it do its thing. The process is pretty much automated.
