By doing it this way, they'd be able to sell the Aura in 2GB up to 32GB versions with almost negligile differences in cost to them. Maybe they should pull an Apple: €50 more for each higher version. After people discover that the "internal" memory is provided by an SD-card that just costs €5 and can be replaced if desired, they'd sure be upset... and feel set up too...
You could look at it as the internal SD card is the C: drive and the external
SD card is your D: drive. My C: drive has been updated a number of times,
the last time from a WD Raptor to a Samsung 830 SSD.

The Aura HD comes apart very easily, compared to most such devices I've
taken apart. (A long standing bad habit of mine.) Compared to most devices
that solder their memory onto the pc board, this approach is much more to
my liking.
