Samsung stopped supporting my phone after Gingerbread, so it might be something that was improved for later phones with newer versions of the OS. I don't know; I have an iPhone now.

The move to SD card was a workaround to breath some extra life into phones with limited internal storage, it was never a "this is the way things will be done in the future" thing. Phones now have multiple gigabytes of internal storage, and for most folks that should be plenty, at least if you store apps internally and your humongous video files on the SD card. Only those users with a bunch of high def games might feel the pain of limited onboard storage.
