Question about Rooting and moving apps to SD card

hello, i'm new here and I sincerely apologize if my question has been answered previously.
I was wondering if there was any chance that HTC may provide an update which would allow me to install most or all apps onto the SD card? I am asking because although I have flashed many of my previous phones, I really don't want to mess this one up, as I'm stick with it for two years and frankly i love it. I know I can move SOME apps to the SD card on the current software, but HTC seem to have not thought about the fact that smartphones are built around apps - and what is the point if the smartphone can only install about twenty? I have 35 MB left in the internal storage and it seems most apps cannot be moved to the sd card, and I have no idea why. If anyone could explain the reason for this to me, i would be most thankful, and if indeed anyone could shed some light on whether they realise how big a flaw this is and if it will be fixed, then it would also be great. danke! :)

Ive been using this method. It works pretty well until I get the chance to install a custome rom to take advantage of Apps 2 sd. It allows you to force apps to sd storage that normally wouldnt be able to moved to the sd. Its very easy and quick. Hope that helps.

Froyo relies on the developer of an app to code on whether it can be moved or not.

Google probably won't change this. Certainly not in the next version anyway
