Windows Phone 7 Won't Support MicroSD Cards, Multitasking
I like MicroSD cards...
No need to worry about running out of space since you have as much space as you have memory cards. No ability for specialized apps (like Garmin XT) for this device. I have no use for a phone restricted like this.
2. Who carries around multiple memory cards? Nobody.
3) Who would honestly want an application that runs exclusively off of a memory card? Oh.. can't listen to my mp3's... need to run the Garmin software. CRAP, my IM software was on there too. Etc. etc.
Also, there are other uses for microSD as it is being trialed by VISA for NFC payments. I guess you only see your way to do things...which is fine for you...but it might not be fine for everyone.
With microSD having 16GB per card you are not limited by what the manufacturer decides to give you. But it is Microsoft's decision but that doesn't mean it is the best decision for all use cases.
That functionality isn't lost with the lack of the MicroSD card. What is gained is the fact that it's one less contact point of failure, one less variable for devices (see Android's problem), and one less volume to accommodate for developers.
Those are all 3 major wins.
WinPho7 will NOT support USB mass storage mode, either.
2. Wrong again. A lot of professionals carry assorted storage media with them.
3. Essential applications, the ones a person uses every day, are installed on the phone. The applications not used frequently can be installed on a card.
And lack of multitasking makes the Windows 7 phone useless to many people, consumers and professionals alike.
This is the way of the future where we all have storage lockers tied to our accounts no more cards or whatever.
2. You're wrong, or you're a liar. NO professional I deal with carriers around MicroSD cards. Maybe thumb drives- none carry MicroSD cards.
3. What OS now even allows for apps to be installed on a card? What possible benefit does running apps off of a card have- it's only a substitute for when your device lacks a proper amount of memory.
