Does Classic emulate an expansion memory card (SD card)?

The Palm Pre device does not have an SD card slot. However, Classic contains a full emulation of SD card related APIs. We have implemented this through a dedicated folder on the device’s file system, which mimics the SD card. Palm OS application can access files and folders in this virtual storage card using the standard Palm OS VFS API, without any restrictions. This means that Palm OS apps can create, read, modify or delete files and folders on the virtual SD card just as they did on real SD card on real Palm OS devices (it can even be formatted through standard Palm OS API). From the Palm OS application’s perspective, there is a fully functional SD card in Classic.
