link2sd, you can keep application on intern storage, so you can unplug µsd card

yes, but the linked apps might get messed up, if you pull the µsd card out, while the phone is turned on. better do that when your phone is turned off.

DONATE TO ME
Once app2sd is installed, every app gets installed to SD. With link2sd, you only move apps of your choice to sd.

I chose to leave Titanium Backup, Root Explorer and Fancy Widget in system memory. Every other app I moved to SD.

Link2sd

Edit: It is an application so you just install it like any other .apk (and with your ext* partition). You can choice the applications you want to link to your sd

I'd installed App2SD before seeing link2sd appeared around the internet.
I have no intention of reverting everything just for the sake of link2sd since both working the same principle only that link2sd have the option to choose which app to install where..
However, all my apps specially titanium backup, root explorer, fancy widget and etc are running fine even they all were installed in the sdcard. All I do is assuming I have that extra storage by default(app2sd installed) and leave it anonymously in the background.

This is just based on my experience and Opinion.

Link2SD hassle free, user configurable.
App2SD hassle to install, all apps are moved to SD(not user configurable)
  • Alcatel->Nokia 3310->SE K800i->SE W960->DOPOD 838 pro->SE T303->LG KM555->X10 mini->X8->X10
  • X10 2.1.A.0.435 + link2SD + Zeam + watchdog + titanium pro

I prefer Link2SD !
Before I've trying to install app2sd but when I reboot (I use a class 2 SDcard ><') my home doesn't launch and my phone was unusable because of the forceclosed of Launcherpro... But now with Link2SD I let my home on the phone and link all the other applications
Finally Link2SD is a software ! you can remove it easier and safer than app2SD
