Trudy et al,
Re: can documents be stored on SD cards. In short- yes you can. I use both an SD and a micro SD card to store data in whatever form on my blackberry or indeed any other smart phone or PDA. Most of the smartphones and PDA's such as blackberry, htc, HP Ipac etc - really any device that has MS word or such applications has the ability to store info on the secondary memory device (SD, micro etc). Having said all this I always synchronise my portable device with my PC at the end of the day and transfer any files from the device to my pc.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [RM] Storage of Photographs on SD Cards
This is something I have never even thought about. Not thinking about SD
cards for anything other tha moving photos from camera to computer and your
response, I am lead to ask a question. Could an electronic file like a
Word document be saved to an SD card and moved to another computer?

Hi Ray,
I thought this was a very interesting question and was moved to do a bit
of Googling.
Found some interesting discussion threads:
(especially the idea of asking Yahoo for tips on keeping SD cards as
evidence...)

I've no idea how common it would be, to use SD cards as the main storage
medium. But in my experience, most average users give little thought to the
potential life span of online/offline storage options.
The SD Association does note that their technology "...is a bridge media
allowing a card to transfer data from one device to another." Which suggests
it is not intended to be used for long-term storage.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you find any statistics on SD cards for storage.
Kind regards

I was on a trip into rural North Korea last week and had an interesting
conversation with one of our "minders." The digital camera has taken off
in North Korea but of course computers are not as common. The minder was
asking me how I store my photographs. I explained that I stored them on
remote drives and DVD as well as on the Internet. He told me that he
stores them on his SD cards and prints the photos he needs at a photo
print shop in Pyongyang. He wondered how long the SD cards last and if
anyone else stores them on the cards. I really saw SD cards as a transit
medium. I never really thought about storing them on the cards.
How long would a card last? Does anyone else know of storage on SD cards
in Third World countries?
