I'm debating on whether to get a 1GB SD card or a smaller size. Besides the obvious such as watching movies and storing MP3s.
What eslse do you guys do with your 1GB SD card?
dumping maps on it for tomtom for instance
Install my games, MP3, movies to it.
I have favourite cab files, mp3, movies and audiobooks on mine.
Sooner or later you will fill the 1GB card.
You can never have enough memory!
gps gps gps
maps + maps + maps + maps
or something widh is not larger than 1gb

Besides the fact that you're off topic, I think it's important to keep this forum free from political statements.
Loads of stuff goes on the card. Believe me if you buy smaller, you'll regret it. Go for the 1GB.
TomeRaider and Wikipedia, which takes up over 500 Kb. I love being able to carry the entire wikipedia with me wherever I go!
Even 1GB is tight.
You have to watch which pictures/which maps/which MP3s/which books you install.
It's no Free-For-All!
With 1GB, you have manage your memory carefully.
It's not like the old days!
Depending on what you're storing. I have my MP3s, movies, data files (pocket word, Excel, PDFs, pictures).
I'd agree xda-rocks -> you can never have enough memory.
If you can wait .. when the prices drop, pick up a 2GB.. or 1GB x2. Either way, i only had my 1GB card for 3 weeks, running out of space already
movies... songs... all sort of stuff...
storage and memory are never enuff
ebooks.... thousands of ebooks
and music, and pictures. i have the camera save all the pictures and video to the gig card
Well hell, IF I had a 1gig storage card, I would use it to store 3 days of backups, that would round to about 180mb. then use the rest for movies, music, and file sharing when I have my webserver running on my BA at the hot spot.
PS. if you get a card that large, invest in a usb card reader on your main computer. Makes life that much easier.
cheers
how do you organize it all? is there a program you use to organize the program installations?
i use it first to store 3 backup files (3 weeks' worth), a whole bunch of movies, games, data files, and programs. have to agree, you can't have enough memory =)
the backup files really are essential. and i usually make sure i have at least 2 of them on hand, in case the latest one is unstable.

I have a 1GB 66x SD card, with the i-mate ROM update and WMP10. I now sync to "Napster To Go" and have a great little media center.
Also store TomTom maps, all additional software is installed to the SDcard too.
As soon as I find a 2GB 66x card, i'll get one of those.
I have recently got a 2G card with my Navigon 5 Update
So I store normally a 250Mb Card of Germany, now for Holidays I stored a 1Gig card of Europe on it, removed some MP3s and of course have 3 or 4 Weeks of Weekly Fullbackups (sprite backup) on it.
So I have normally over 1Gig of MP3s on it , one map for navigon and some games and my backups...
how can i use google maps, GPS and navigation without having a internet connection?
use another navigation software (sygic mobile maps for example) which support offline maps
google only buffers partial maps, so that an internet-connection is urgent needed
YOU CAN'T USE GOOGLE MAPS OFFLINE. better get navdroyd from the market. ONLY 5 EURO AND YOU GET A WORLDWIDE OFFLINE NAVIGATION. I DOWNLOADED THE WHOLE EUROPEAN MAP AND IT'S 2 GB WITH 3D AND POI.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Is there an app that can download a predefined area and then put that data in the offline cache of google maps ( v5.0 supports offline caching)?
I can't get Spotify to use the external microSD 16GB card to store my offline music. I've been in contact with Spotify's support and they told me that the app automatically selects the largest storage unit by default. Still after factory resets and re-formating of the microSD card Spotify still stores everything on the internal SD card for some reason.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!
Hi.
I had the same problem and spent ages searching for an answer until I found this link on the spotify forum.
All you need to do is uninstall Spotify download the version from the link below, install it, then sync. It works!!

so how do we unlock this one into a full featured android tablet ?
As far as I can see Navigon can't store maps on external SD. This renders it almost unusable on XZR as it takes up almost 1Gb for the app (and voice commands in 30 languages etc - stupid). And then each country is about 100 Mb so you quickly fills up the internal storage space.
Or does anybody have different experience?
