Android apps - general advice & tips

Hi guys. The wife's downloaded loads of apps (from the market) to her LG GT540 Optimus and recently got a low memory warning on her phone. The problem seems to be that the apps are stored in the internal memory which isn't very big so I was wondering if they could be moved onto her SD card and, if so, how to do it?

I've also been having a look at them individually via apps manager and can see that some of them have quite large caches. What are these for and can they be moved/deleted without causing issues?

Finally, I've discovered that these apps come with permissions to access all sorts of stuff on her phone, including things like reading text messages and directly making chargeable calls (can't remember which apps right now). She hasn't had any obvious problems so far but do these permissions have the potential to cause security or other problems and, if so, what can we do about them?

I'd be grateful if anyone could answer the above questions and/or point me in the direction of some good clear information on what precautions she ought to be taking before and after downloading apps.

TVM as always!
