Do you have samdroid tools installed? If not, make a kitchen ROM on samdroid. n e t and install that from recover (boot using Volume Down + Call + End Call -> Apply any zip, select te zip from your SD card)
After that, go to samdroid tools and "Enable your Sdcard for Apps2SD", you can tweak the settings there too

I have rooted using tools from Leshak and built my ROM Using Samdroid site and app2sd is working and a lot of other features. But u will have to root ur phone to get all this.

I recommend waiting for android 2.2 to be finished because that doesn't require partitioning to install apps to sd.

data2sd?
i would prefer app2sd, a bit tricky to install, but works great with dalvik-cache in sd.. but dont have user interface (correct me if im wrong)
Link2sd havent tried yet, but it guess works well with 2.1 with user interface and need to move the application manually.
others i dont know how it works

Besides, if you run custom roms 2.2 or 2.3 you have app2sd supported by default...

Error

I have just started my brand new x8, so nothing is changed with it, I try and download an app from the internet and when I go to install it I get 'There is a problem parsing the package', I have tried many different app installers, but still no luck.
Thanks very much for all replies

some apps need to run on a newer version of amdroid, for example app2sd (wich transfers your installed apps to your micro sd card) requires android 2.2 or higher to run, but the stock Sony Ericsson firmware is android 2.1 so until you install a new ROM e.g. Froyobread (Android 2.2) or GingerDX (Android 2.3) you wont be able to run certain apps
