Yes,You've heard it right. No need to delete any of your existing favourite apps to carve out space for a new one. No running out of memory issues.All you need to have is:A sd card of sufficient capacity (preferably,class 4 or higher), a rooted smartphone (For more about rooting,see this), a sd card reader, a windows PC, an internet connection for downloading a few softwares, this guide and some patience :)P.S. If you have got an ICS/ Jelly Bean android device, see this rooting guide. If you have got Android 2.3 aka gingerbread or below, read thisrooting guide

First of all,you have to partition your sd card.To do this:
- Download Mini tool Partition Wizard from here.
- Install the application on your windows PC and connect your sd card to the pc via a card reader.Your pc and the wizard will detect the sd card.
- In the Mini Tool partition wizard,right click on your sd card and select delete.Note: Make sure you have backed up all the contents on your pc,as the sd card will be formatted during the process.
- Now,you will have whole of the space on your sd card as unallocated.Right click on it and select create.
- A popup will open,in that box,select the partition as primary,file system as FAT (if your sd card is below 4GB) or FAT32 (if your sd card is more than 4GB).
- Leave about 512 MB or more space for the next partition.
- Select done and right click on the unallocated space and again click create.This time too,select Primary but change the file system to Ext2,Ext3 or Ext4 (Ext2 is recommended as most ROMs work fine with it)
- Click apply changes and the process will take a few minutes, let it complete.
