What is the purpose of the micro SD card?

[rubesly]

I just got my phone last Thursday and so far I'm loving it. Now, understand I am not a technical person at all so I'm not sure why I had to have this phone but it has been working well for me so, so far I'm enjoying it. However, I have downloaded a couple of apps from the market and they are taking up quite a bit of my phone memory. I'm just wondering, what the heck does a person use the memory card for if you can only save apps to it if you have rooted your phone? I would like to have the extra memory but don't think I'm willing to risk the the problems involved with rooting if done incorrectly (like I said, I'm not a very technical person). Why is the SD card even there?

The purpose of the SDcard is to save everything else; i.e
Pictures, contacts, music, videos etc. and very few market apps

but I can't seem to save photo's or video to the card. I went into the menu looking for the option to do that. I guess I'll keep looking, trying to figure it out. Thanks.

Connect your phone to the pc, a notification will come, open the notification tab and select mount SDcard then your pc will see the Nexus as drive, then you can drag, drop, delete... etc.

Am I correct in assuming that video and pictures are automatically saved to the sd card and this is why I cannot find an option in a menu to designate the card as the location to save to?

We travel alot so my Wife and I both have 32g cards.
Put a ton of recorded tv out of our dvr, and movies to watch on the plane.

I am sure as more upgrades come out from Goggle, apps will be able to be shifted to the card.

Yes, this is correct. I didn't do anything to the settings and pictures taken with my camera are automatically saved in the memory card. Also when I transfer music to the phone they are also saved in the memory card.
