Question Droids and Memory cards MicroSDHC

I was sitting here thinking, How cool it would be if it was possible first, and then if a manufacture would produce a phone that can stack or run multiple SD cards. Kinda like a desktop usually has 4 slots for RAM...

Is there a reason why Phones can't have at least 2 slots for SD cards?

Our phone already has something similar. We have our internal as well as out external. I don't think it will happen though as with how cheap sdhc is most people would rather have 1 large card.

Cool idea but don't see it happening. Hell, some phones such as the GNex don't even have a micro sd slot just large internal.

Yeah and I see a lot of them moving towards that in the future...look at how many if them have dropped removable storage already

Wouldn't think multi SD card support but maybe expandable ram for Tablets and hybrid phone/tablets or possibly true USB support as in being able to connect a thumb drive to the phone not just access the phone as a USB mass storage device thru the micro USB/charging port.

I don't even use the 16 gb available to me, but I guess it'd be cool for those with more storage demands

If it did have multiple SD slots you'd be able to setup a RAID array if you were adventurous enough. Might be fun from a hack point of view anyhow...

Dell Streak always had 2 slots, 1 external, 1 internal, internal microsd card can be changed, swapped or upgraded to any size you like with some effort, you have to cut away a section under the battery cover to expose the internal card.
