Nice background image goldshirt.
Regarding what phone I am using, I use a Sony Xperia acro S. It was da bomb in 2012, but like computing in the 80's it was obsolete an hour after I bought it. It has a walkman on it. It plays my music very well. I have 16GB onboard storage memory (11.25GB actual) and a 32GB MicroSDHC card (29.8GB actual) for putting in the MicroSD slot included on the phone.
Firmware is supposedly the reason for such huge discrepancies between the advertised capacity and the actual capacity, but I don't believe it. If firmware takes up so such memory, then make the things that much larger and deliver the customer what is advertised. What I believe is happening is the companies know that the average computer users counts 1K as 1000 not 1024, and take advantage of this fact. Whatever.....
No with that out of the way, I got a usb flash drive with a regular usb plug on one end and µusb plug on the other. I can plug it into my phone or any other device with a micro usb socket and transfer files to the device. Handy in numerous situations.
BUT, here is the deal maker, it was advertised as 32GB, and it is actually 31.6GB...*Shock* *Horror* *Amazement* the firmware actually takes up a realistic amount of space, not gigabytes for details of how to say hello and introduce itself!
Amicroe is the brand and it's useful for so many reasons, not to mention the extra 3-4GB it has compared to an average 32GB stick.
Back to the phone, it's an android phone running on 4.2.something and the phone handles it well enough for my usage, but I am not trying to edit video, run a network or play 3D FPS's on my phone, so power users and masturbaters may need something more this month than the Arco S.
Might upgrade mid 1st Q next year.
