My last Android phone was a Moto Defy (with a C10 SD card), after using it for a while, I was so annoyed by Android's stupid data storage arrangement. Every time I installed an app that requires data storage on SD card, it will create a folder on that card. Eventually there was more than several dozens of app data folders which buried my own content folders like images and music and e-books. Why is it so difficult that they won't create just one app-data folder like "Program Files" in windows, or "Applications" in Mac, and store all the various app-data folder into it, so that there will be a very clean and beautiful folder structure for me to browse.

This issue troubles me so much that I finally gave up Android, switched to Windows Phone 7.

If the app-data could be unseen (stored on the hidden partition) and I can have all my own content stored at my wish on the SD card, it would be perfect.
Yes, that is the way it works. All B&N content (including apps and apps data) is stored in the hidden partition. The 1 GB user space and the SD-card are only used for your own content.
