Controlling Installation Preference

There is an important point to take into account when developing applicacions for android. And this is the parameter which added to the manifest root says where you want to install your application. It is pretty straight forward to do it. And I dont understand why applications like Facebook doesnt allow you to be installed on your SD (under Froyo 2.2). Something that frees lot of memory on your phone and improves the general perfomance.

package="com.yourcompany.yourapplication.activitiy"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="auto">

Now on, I will add this parameter as it says here http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/apps-on-sd-card-details.html to allow future applications on Android to be moved to the SD. And keep wondering why not all of them have this option enable.
