I have a 130 instead of an eMate, so my advice may not be valid, but I find
it easier, and more useful to keep only the internet software on internal
store. All other packages go on my card. This gives me more storage space
for email, but also, when I eject the card, all my programs and extensions
are unmounted, leaving me much more heap for internet. I've done this since
my 120, and find it quite useful for email.
That said, it would seem to me, that on an eMate, you don't need to be
worried about heap and storage. It should have enough for everything.

Considering these are the only two still-supported programs, and they are
both at the top of their class, I would say that I agree with you. :-)
Concerning "junk" the only thing I can think of is the "Internet Setup"
package. Once you have your setup set, you can delete it. I keep mine on my
card.
