   In all fairness to Andy, whom I know to be an intelligent and thoughtful   
   person, I belatedly realize that Andy seems to think the sd card has only   
   one purpose - which is to *extend* the memory of the Android phone.   
      
   Which is a worthless concept nowadays... I agree.   
      
   I partly helped Andy be confused because I interchangably used the word   
   "storage" and "memory" where that's what threw Andy off the main track.   
      
   Suffice to say that nobody (well, almost nobody) needs to "extend" the   
   memory of their Android phone nowadays ... even I don't need to do that and   
   all my phones are always free (just like all my Amazon purchases are free).   
       
      
   What I'm talking about here, is NOT extending the memory but DOUBLING the   
   storage (tripling the storage, quadrupling the storage, whatever).   
      
   As sdcards get cheaper, I pop a new triple-sized sdcard into my phone, and   
   Voila! Instantly all my editors have TRIPLE the storage to store files in!   
      
   That's what I mean by "portable storage".   
      
   Given that important clarification that it's not "memory" I'm doubling, but   
   portable storage that I'm doubling, I can ask again Andy this question:   
      
   Q: How do *you* double your portable storage when you need to, Andy?   
   A: ?   
      
   You can't, right?
