So, on a "compilant" device getExternalStorageDirectory would return a real sdcard mountpoint? Or still an "overlay" to access only specialized directories?

Well, I need to use what a random/average customer could pick. This one is sold "physically" in stores, and price/functionality ratio is reasonable. I didn't even try to root it, that's the condition of my experiment. Anyway, if there is no "formal" answer, I'll need to apply more heuristics... it is a mountpoint anyway, controlled by vold (sp?), I am assuming at least this holds for all devices? Thanks.
