In the case of features like dual sd cards, dual cameras, dual sims, etc which already exist on shipping smarthpones of other flavors, its a safe bet that they will show up on an android device sooner or later.
The android architects can provide leadership on how to handle them - or they can suffer the fragmentation of their platform resulting from different manufacturers handling the same thing in different incompatible ways. The galaxy is a good example of this - arguably its implementation shouldn't have passed compatability, as it requires developers to resort to special casing or discouraged examination of underlying linuxisms (/proc/mounts or using stat() to decide if get external storage has given you a mount point or a container of mount points) I would also point out that developers shouldn't be blindly using fixed paths within external storage for file creation, as there's no arbiter of that namespace to avoid collision with othe apps files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
