   Yes, all true.  Interestingly, at least the one time I tested this, when I   
   formatted an SD card to ext4, then inserted it into a phone, it did not   
   recognize it.  Odd, because obviously, it *can* recognized ext4   
   filesystems.  But it only seems to be able to do FAT on the SD card.
