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

I don't remember you disagreeing.

 
There /is/ a small chance you are telling the truth there.  I'm not betting
on it though.
 

I only remember me telling you many times what I use portable
storage for that there is no equivalent otherwise.

 
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.

[Frank's younger brother here :-) :]

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

  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.

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

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

*fsck* are you doing!?"]
