PsykosisA lot of new hardware doesn't support expandable storage space. This becomes a problem if you have, say, a very large collection of music, where few modern mp3 players actually have SD card slots (let alone support for SDXC). Granted, I believe there are a lot of modern android phones with SDXC support, but then you're given sub-par battery life, compared to dedicated products like the classic iPod models which can easily last a couple weeks before needing to be charged, assuming light to moderate usage. Anyways, I think modern consumer electronics are trying to move towards bare-minimum onboard flash RAM storage, and then encourage you to just stream/host all of your media through a cloud service.
