Alternative storage points are available to firmware apps from the
device manufacturer that wrote the firmware apps and built the device.
This appears to generally be used for stuff like the camera, where the
images are then surfaced through MediaStore, and you access them that
way.

Of course. HTC wrote the camera app, and HTC built the device. Device
manufacturers always have access to things that are beyond the SDK.
