I'm not sure about the edge, but on an Android phone that message specifically refers to the space for apps. I know that my app space is down from 300MB to 60MB available. 2.2 is the version of Android that will allow apps to SD card, but with the way the edge is set up - calling the SD card extsd- I'm not sure that option will work without moving everything to SD. Normally an app installs on the device and most of it's data, (files,pictures, etc) go on the SD card. But on the edge all those file go to the internal storage; since that is what is named SD card. So all those apps that store info, like note apps, drawing apps, apps like Everpaper (which syncs with Instapaper), save large amounts of data on the SD card.
