I got four 16GB SDHC cards for the tablet marked MOVIES

How long will it take iTunes to load 64GB into a FruitFone??

Oh, never mind, it doesn't play the DivX movies, anyways...

Six of one, half-dozen of the other, I guess... I use a 2GB Micro SD in my
WinMo phone, and never swap it out (other than stick it in a reader to
transfer files.)

If my Tilt had 8GB or 16GB on board, I probably wouldn't bother with
external storage.

Obviously large internal storage PLUS an external slot would be the best of
both worlds, but of the iPhone's solution (large internal memory, no
external) or the solution of typical phones (little intenal memory,
external slot), neither has a clear advantage, IMO- both fall short of the
ideal.

Had too many activations; system couldnt keep up at first; same thing
happened last year. Many stores are sold out already.

ATT will still be here in its current form a year from now, Sprint
won't be.

THe translation is more along the lines of: I wouldn't be caught dead with
a teenagers iPod as my phone.
