Differences between internal and external SD card?

Hallo everyone,
I just get my SGS and I notice that the memory structure is so defined:
- The internal storage memory (8Gb, but i see only 5,7) is called "SDcard"
- the phisical external Sd card is seen as a directory, called "SD" under the SDcard.
Now my questions are:
When I install big seized programs,e.g. Navigators, all the program data are by default stored in the internal memory, which is limited and fix (not expandable). I would install the navigation map on the exernal Sd.
Is this a problem of Android or just how SGS impemented it? Is it possible to make the external card be rocognised as primary SDcard?
- Why the internal memory is only 5,7Gb? ok 8Gb are theoretical but 2,3 GB less ....
Thanks
Bye
The reason it's so small is because the OS and it's apps have to go somewhere, also when Froyo is released you'll be able to install apps directly to the SD card but know that internal memory is much faster than an SD card so you may what to keep that in mind when you factor in what apps to install to SD.
Hallo Sebrina,
thanks for the answer, I supposed the 2,3 Gb were for the OS, in fact the space for application is 1,8GB, but I hoped the two memorys are separated.
So with froyo will be able really to install the app on the real Sd card, and not on the internal memory, whichist called "SDcard" by the os?
Thanks
bye

[Q] mmc problem..

hi.. when i connect my tablet to my pc it shows only the internal memory and not the memory card.. is it the prob with all acer iconia tab a500 or just mine..?
how to instal softwares on memory card instead of internal memory??
You can't. Memory card is mounted under /mnt/external_sd but you can only store files there. You can't install anything there.
thanks.. that's quite stupid.. even my smartphone is smarter Dan that!
May be but you smartphone doesn't have 32gb of internal storage. That would make installing to SD redundant because internal memory is usually faster. But it's great that we have some extra storage options for movies and mp3s.

[Q] Storage

Is there anyway to switch the internal and external storage?
So all my apps instead of going to internal go directly to my 64gb sd card..
Thanks
Best you can do at the moment

Adoptable storage [Custom ROM]

Hello everyone, I am currently on a custom ROM and I was thinking about making my micro SD as internal storage (adoptable storage). But my SD card is a little slow, 30mb/s, and I was searching for a faster SD card for adoptable storage. Does anyone is already using a SD card as internal storage? Which one do you think is fast enough? And did you think that the phone has gotten slower after that?
Thank you.

Format MicroSD as 'adaptable storage' (or as phone storage or as 'internal storage'), but backup your MicroSD contents to your PC first before you format it as such. BTW, what ROM did you use?
