In a nut shell there is expandable memory though one should more think of it as permanent. Once it is in everything is treated as though it is one in the same. From a
basic user perspective this far beats the alternative of having to keep track of where your apps/contacts/music are stored, IMHO and I think it is a simple way to make up for manufactures who don't want to go all out with internal storage to keep the price of the phone down.
That defeats the purpose of "removable" cards.
A lot of Android phones are coming with 8 GB or 16GB internal memory, plus the expandable SD cards. And the cheapest Android phones still allow removable media cards. With Froyo's incredible performance, and App2SD, it makes it even more valuable to be able to easily swap out cards, or to upgrade from a 2 GB to 8GB to 32GB without skipping a beat.
This WP7 move is DRM related. Marketed under the guise of "performance." MS Fanboys jump on board and buy the lie.
I knew someone would come to defend the WP7's idiocy of making removable media non-removable.
