Note here on this version of Android (2.3.3) you also moved all the applications on the SD card, which is quite handy indeed because all applications are not necessarily moved as I mentioned in the introduction. Those marked in green are already on the SD card.
You can move an application on your card directly from this tab to press it over and repeat the previous operation.
