But I still see no answer to the question: do such devices, for having
such a non-standard configuration, fail CDD and therefore are not on
the Market? I am sure such info would still be useful for the OP.


Some do, or rather, did (the HTC Incredible and the Samsung Galaxy S), some apparently never submitted or failed for other reasons (the book-reader type device described by the original poster).

The extra memory card is an *additional* feature. Both the Incredible and the Galaxy do implement the required storage API, and it returns something useful on both of them (more useful on the Galaxy).

The only cause of grief is caused by the desire to use specifically the internal memory card on the Incredible, and the external memory card on the Galaxy (the "other" storage location).

Since Android doesn't have APIs for more than one memory card, not having a way to do this on the Incredible / Galaxy can't cause the CCD to fail (you can't give wrong answer to a question that was never asked). At least that's my understanding.

This was really HTC's failure, as they didn't specify (AFAIK) a way to get their internal storage path. Samsung learned from their mistake, and provided a solution compatible with single memory card devices.

I own a Galaxy S, and not having an API for the external memory card is the least significant of that phone's issues.
