I notice that whilst an Android program can be moved to a SD Card, the media it uses stays on the phone (or at least I think that's what the information says) - if so, would it be possible to have an option where Media can could be installed onto an SD Card as well as the program.

The app its selv cannot been moved to sdcard, but media can. This is done in the menifest file. I post it when went home.
Some apps cannot been moved at all, it's depend which service it's use.
If you could show me the manifest modification that would be good - it would be nice to allow the bulk to be moved to the SD card.
If you set in Android market as "protected", the app will only be installable on main memory.
android:installLocation="preferExternal"
will install in external if more memory is available.

To save data in external disk, you have to find available ones in /mnt folder or something similar.
Anyway, saving to platforminfo(documents) and (appdata) will save in app filepath.
Sorry, i did forgot all about it. Ampos has answered how to do :-) and yes its android:installLocation="preferExternal" that does that job.
anyway here is what I currectly use for Greedy Mouse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.xxx.xxx"
android:installLocation="preferExternal"

android:versionName="alpha">

<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:debuggable="false">

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
EDIT:
Its seen its have produced a build error, but its was a xlargescreens that did it, so its removed.
