Is there a way to have finalised forms saved directly to a removable
microSD card?
In 1.1.7, we write to whatever storage is at
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() . In most devices with
removable SD cards, that points to the removeable card. If that is not
happening, then it's probably an issue with your phone (an Acer E110
running 1.5, right?).

We've upgraded to 2.3.3 since working with 1.5 was too
clunky.
Our tablets have a fixed internal sd card (as well as an external
slot), and i think Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns a
path to the internal one. All odk folders etc are saved internally. I
think we experienced the same when testing on a samsung galaxy.

I filed the bug at
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=447, and talked
about it at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/opendatakit/AVWA1RpEtpE/discussion.
It's an easy fix, but I'm not excited about adding device specific
code to Collect. My guess is that we'll wait and see how much of a
problem/feature request this becomes.

One solution would be to allow a user specified location for
saving instances.

Someone has to build it though, and there are only so many
developer hours in a day. We'll get it as soon as we can, but this is
low priority. As always, we welcome patches.
