Hello fellow android devs,

There appears to be more internal sdcard path location issues on the
horizon...

I recently got my hands on a lovely Samsung Captivate... quite a nice
phone. It, like the HTC Incredible, has an internal sdcard as well as
a slot for an external one. I had a chance to play with a friends
Incredible, and the external card's path is returned when calling:

   File sdfile = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
   String sdpath = sdfile.getPath();

... and it works as expected, giving /sdcard as the path. I've not
been on the group lately, so I'm not certain how the issue with
accessing the Incredible's internal sd storage has been handled... but
on the Captivate...

Unlike the Incredible... when calling the same function, the same path
is returned, BUT it's pointing to the internal sd storage... The
external is instead mounted at /sdcard/sd

My app needs to access files on an sdcard somewhere... I guess I don't
care where exactly and I can provide instructions in a readme and even
maybe prompt the user and ask where they copied the game files.... but
I'd much rather be able to decide a standard location and stick to it.
Are there any talks of how this can be addressed?
