Hi,any news on this or have I wasted my money on a sd card that I cannot use
Thanks,Andy.

After doing some reading about this and communicating with a developer who is very familiar with these tablets, I have found that ICS file structure takes away the ability to run apps from SD on purpose. First of all, these newer tablets have improved performance if using ext3 or ext4 file systems. If you are running apps from an external sd, formatted in fat, it slows your tablets performance.

It is better to find a ROM that expands your internal app space than to sacrifice performance by trying to run your apps from a much slower sd. It is kind of like trying to run a program on your pc from a floppy disk. It worked well for a while, but we had to move on.

I know it is frustrating, but we have to adapt as the technology adapts.
I use the heck out of my external sd for my music, videos and and pictures.

well about the ext4 formatted file systems we always can modify our micro sd card to this type file system with partition tool so there is no excuse for not be able to use an external sd card to store our applications..we need to find a solution and i think if our well trained programmers could make an application that has the option to choose where we want to move the applications and read the micro sd card as a third partition (cause arnova system has 2 internal partitions and the second one reads it as an external-not the micro sd)there is the link to sd app it works fine but be sure you install the apk file to your internal storage at first and then link it to external (there is an option which allows you to select where to install the applications but if you choose to install them directly to external you ll get a "not enough space" error message )
