Help Download application straight to my SD card.

Not that I am aware of on the phone.
What I have done is to download the .apk to a PC, and then transfer it where you want to store it on the SD card.

Just be aware, a lot of apps will not work as they should if they do not reside on the phone's internal memory.

Once you click on the .apk, it is going to install on internal memory anyway.

Direct from the Play Store? No. Many developers of popular apps have direct download links on their own websites however, and there are legit third-party web sites that enable downloading rather than installing. The key is "legit"... if it doesn't go through the Play Store then it's probably simply redistributing/pirating the apps, so you won't get updates and are open to malware injection (and guilty of copyright infringement).

Yeh Indeed. See the recent, mod closed thread about Chinese app stores.
