No Android device can hold more than one sd card so why would there be

Not so.

The relatively new and quite popular Samsung Galaxy S (and its many carrier-specific variations) has two memory cards.

One is internal, cannot be replaced, and is mounted at the path that's often used for external memory cards (/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard when that phone is updated to Froyo).

The external memory card (replaceable via the usual slot, and not installed by default - at least in the version I got) is mounted at /sdcard/sd (or the corresponding Froyo path in the future).

There is also the HTC Incredible - its internal memory card is mounted at /emmc (or something like it, I don't have one).

So there *are* variations, and it's probably safe to say that Samsung's approach is better, since it's backwards compatible.

BTW, wouldn't it make sense to make this information available to applications? I'm thinking additional versions of getExternalStorageDirectory / getExternalStorageState that could deal with there being more than one "large" storage area?
