WinMo Phones Can Now Install Apps to Storage Cards

Feb 23, 2010, 9:23 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Microsoft recently made a minor update of the Windows Marketplace for Mobile available to devices running WinMo 6.0 and up. The biggest and most important new feature allows users to download and install applications from the Marketplace directly onto microSD storage cards rather than the built-in device memory. This will let users whose devices have limited memory to install and use more applications. The update is a free download from Microsoft.

Just one more reason.

this is just one reason why WINMO is as great or better than Android. The thing that WinMo does great that no one gives them credit for is flexibility. WinMo is available on more handset types than any other phone out there, and there software has to be flexible enough to bounce from phone to phone. Android can't say this and neither can Iphone users.

TO ANYONE WHO WORKS WITH GOOGLE

The dumbest thing you could have done is make my G1's internal memory so small with no way to save/install/run apps from my sd Card like I can with windows mobile i.e the HTC Dash with 6.0/6.1. It's sad when you guys need to take a page from Microsoft's book. what the hell is the point of trying to entice people with a huge app market if you can only save apps to the 1mb of internal memory. I don't want to here about app security. This is an epic-fail with no excuses. 😉

Also I would like to add that this is a fail for t-mobile and htc.
