Just giving a hint (maybe too obvious) to application developers first 
;) If your application takes more than 10 megs you could do with default 
software image (the one averate end users use) this:

Application installer installs just few files which include wrapper 
executable and main program is extracted on a MMC (of course, you could 
install it also on some other type of mount). Then the wrapper would 
just check if media is in and launch the application itself, if it's not 
it it would bitch something like "Correct media not inserted" to user 
(does this remind you of some proprietary CD games which say something 
like "Please insert CD this and that"?).

I guess this was all Captain Obvious had to say this time...
