If this is the real Kevin Dill, this is an actual (I think) Android dev member. Here is a cut from the thread in the link you kindly provided. Kevin's response seems interesting in good but mainly bad ways for obvious reasons.

We have a partial solution at this time to some of the Android storage woes. Remote file storage is available for the Android which emulates local storage for predominantly multimedia. We offer that service at Android Storage. We are working on technology and an app which will actually allow apps to be stored completely remote and then be “temped” to the phone via a stream and operated under a master app. That will be coming before spring. This changes the playing field and allows devices to fully take advantage of “virtually” unlimited app and storage memory with the improvements in 3G, 4G, and WIFI availability.

Kevin, glad to see you saw this article…I thought of your service immediately! I had no idea what a problem this could be until reading the article above.

Sounds good- if you do not mind waiting for the delay for the app to work or do not have Edge or GSM only.

Sorry Kevin, the logical change is to allow virtual space to the SD card- just as many rooted G1’s have proven.

In your defense though, perhaps that is your non-partial fix for 2010. I hope so, because you know the partial fix will not work long-term and only highlight the constraint.

Sounds to me you have given evil Apple their next add campaign theme- iPhone has app space and Android doint’ (spelled on purpose)


UPDATE: I guess apps 2 SD might not be coming to Android, since on Droid, you have to remove the battery to get to the SD card!!

Reminds me of my old N-Gage days.
