Sorry to have confused you PJ. Perhaps I should have said a little more. Google suggests that if you need to bring (large) amounts of data to an app that it is better to download it at runtime rather than package it with the app. And then a good place to store such data is on the / sdcard/. It is also a better idea to use android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get at the / sdcard/ rather than hard coding it as a path name.
