Apps such as apps2SD are perfect for moving installed apps to SD card,

There's another method that makes use of the Android SDK.. I don't recommend it because there's many apps that shouldn't be moved to SD card. but I thought I'd share this option FYI:

1. Download and install Android SDK

2. Navigate to the installation folder using the command prompt [WIN+R] then typing CMD. Just Google for command line options such as cd\ and dir etc.

3. Go into the \tools folder (from your installation folder) and type adb devices (this command will return a serial number)

4. type adb shell pm setinstallLocation 2

5. It's done, apps will now install directly to your SD card
