Re: What's the actual *advantage* of not having an sd slot?

Franks younger brother,

Yes, you have claimed the same thing a number of times.  But as
you never explained to us what that usage might be - and have
refused to respond to where I did give alternatives - I'm still
considering it to be false.

 He always claims, the '*impossible*' usage is using the SD-card
(and slot) as 'portable storage'

Even that is up for grabs, as he likes to jump between the internal and
external sd-card usage.

(see your above quote of his text). I.e. put some stuff on the
card, remove it from it's device, insert it in another device and
use the stuff on that other device.

He suggested something like that yes.

I than named my thumbdrive as something that (c|w)ould do the same.  So
could a (most likely) a datacable.  Or bluetooth and WiFi.   Heck, you could
(probably) even use email !

Of course that claim is false, because one can have/use said 'portable
storage', without having a [Micro]SD-card slot in the Android device.

Indeed.

But its worse than that : The example wasn't about 'portable storage', but
about basic data transfer.  As an example for the *need* of an sd-card it
was rather bad.

 Of course that/those alternative(s) have their own pres and cons,
but that doesn't make it/them '*impossible*'.

Absolutily.  And thats pretty-much the problem with Arlen : he flat-out
*refuses* to listen to anyone elses considerations.  Its his way, or the
highway.

In the interest of not breaking this senseless non-discussion,
I will not reveal what this/these obvious alternative(s) is/are.

See above, I already did.  Arlens response ? The proverbial sound of
crickets chirping. :-(

To be honest, I can think of a reason/situation or two why/when an sd-card
would be something good to have.  But when wants to think of himself as the
only one who knows anything, and we are "strange completely ignorant
uneducated trolls" ?  Than I'm not really feeling inclined (understatement)
to help him support his arguments.  Something I definitily /would/ do in a
honest discussion.
