Did I mess up...

and should I move to another location?

Basically, I'm in sales and my company has a program that enables us to enter orders, view price book and a host of other items. Once a WiFi connection (or other) is found we can place orders. Today I got the needed disc and installed to my BIS. THEN I read on here that the BIS is only re-writtable for about 100k times? I plan to save data from this program to an SD card. Is this going to be a problem, should I delete/install to an SD card?

Thanks for entertaining my noob question...

If you're only running the app and not writing to BIS, then you should be ok. However, keep in mind BIS is slower than SD, so you might want to reinstall to SD anyway.

Without knowing how your program works, its hard to say what is the perfect solution for you. The BIS is provided as extra storage, giving you the option of storing things in ROM instead of a storage card.

The 'working' data for your application will probably be stored in RAM anyway -- this is where most data gets put that changes frequently. If it does actually store its data in the BIS, I wouldn't worry too much about the 100K write limit. Even if you wrote something to the BIS 10 times a day, every day, it wouldn't fail for around 27 years.
