SD Card: "For Media Exchange Only"??? So what exactly does that mean?
1830555
I was wondering the same thing. Here's what I got from the Google developer release notes on Honeycomb 3.2 "Media sync from SD card: On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store." So I agree with yendred... this appears to be a Honeycomb issue. I'm thinking that there's a chance Google will add more SD functionality with a Honeycomb update in the future (they have been gradually ratching up SD functionality with each update of Honeycomb). But, that being said, I wouldn't hold my breath. It seems like manufacturers aren't pushing Google to develop a way to let consumers spend their cash on some third party's SD card when they'd rather force you to shill out an extra $100 to them for the larger internal memory version.... Go figure. I'm reminded of how users figured out ways to connect usb flash drives to ipads using the camera adapter so Apple quickly rushed out a software "update" to iOS that reduced power to the port rendering USB drives unusable via that "work around" (which, incidently, made it hard for photographers who were actually trying to use the "camera adapter" for their camera's CF card, to get their pictures off the card) So long as the business model is designed around tiered pricing for tablets based on internal memory, I don't think any of these manufacturers really want us to be able to add our own memory. I do hope I'm wrong, because the ability to fully utilize removable memory is what's holding me back from any tablet purchase. Sony, Apple, or otherwise.

i have a question regarding the SD card integration. Can you play files (audio and video) on the SD card directly or you have to move them to the internal memory before you can play them? Thank you

I put my media on micro sd cards which are pretty crazy cheap now. The unaccounted for space is in system partitions.

I agree it works well even with 4GB card. When I use external card reader to upload pics to the card and then I plug the card to the frame itself. Its weird that whan I use 2GB CF card I can upload pics via cable PC-FRAME but when I use SD card I have to use external reader.Anyway looks like it way to go by now. I also dont feel secure to update to the firmware that is older than what I curently have and hope that upcoming 10" model wont have such issues.Thanx for reply.

Just a heads up - Lots of people are finding it impossible to write files to an external sd card in the Galaxy s, myself included. It's not Samsung's fault, it's Android's newest kit kat operating system that prevents this. I wish I'd known that before I bought it. My new Galaxy s is boxe back up and will be returne tomorrow (bought it from a big box store).

You should be able to use any SD card. The more space the better unless you are constantly backing things up. I think I used two different capacity cards at one point and it worked fine.

It's just used for transfer. One of my digital camera's uses a microSD card that I slide in here so I can pop this standard SD card into my macbook.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

yea a standard SD card (physically). i'm not sure how much it can read size-wise (for example 32gb), but i'm sure it depends on how many songs and pictures you have. the more you have the longer it willl take to load. The SD slot is on the bottom right side of the screen, so you don't have to slide open the unit when you change cards. I noticed they have a newer model now, BV8963/BV8967B.

I believe that is correct but I only use 2 and. 4g SD cards. I have never come close to filling them up. I also use the "overwrite" setting

In a word, YES. The drive doesn't distinguish between Adapter card or regular SD Card.

May just mean that, if someone brings out such a card it will work. See http://www.fastcompany.com/1131088/2tb-memory-card-arrives-panasonics-sdxc-format. Most of us use 64 or, very pricey, 128. Great device, great sound, great price.

I concur with Joe's response. Some formats can occasionally become problematic for certain operating systems. Ive encountered zero issues in any capacity; however, my mobile formatted sandisk UHS 1, 64gb card was volitile with or without the reader; whereas, as aformentioned this may simply validate the importance of media format, i.e., FAT32, EXFAT32, EXT 3, EXT 4, etc.The card reader's ability to r/w via Usb 2.0 interface is as should be expected.... working and without concern. If your still wondering about purchasing, for what it is worth, this is the best reader I have ever used, beating out the RDCR-11003 74 in one internal card reader I bought from newegg last year.

Thank you. I was looking for a micro sd. You kept me from making a big mistake. Looking at so many they are getting f2f confusing. Many thanks.

It only receives standard definition. You HD receive should operate on SD as well. But no HD.

I don't know since I don't know what the difference is between them. I just know I have a SD micro card. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Sdi out is just signal out it doesn't have anything to do with internal recording. So the answer is No it doesn't effect anything with the SD card
