About 2 and more storage cards in Smartphone 2002

On the Smartphone all files are stored from the root ´\´. If you want to write a file in a persistent manner to the phone you should target the ´\IPSM´ (Intel Persistent Storage Manager) which is a flash storage area that will survive a power off of the phone. You can also target an SD card if one is inserted but the storage card name is not a fixed thing - today the SPV has just two storage cards (IPSM and SD slot) but newer devices may choose to have more (ie IPSM, SD and internal SD). You should always use FindFirstFlashCard /FindNextFlashCard to get the one you want. You can write apps to locations outside these two, but the OS will simply place the file in a RAM filter over the ROM files, just like the Pocket PC. When the power on the phone is removed, the files will be lost.
