I do have a fairly recent version of Android, but the current hardware 
does not have an open SD slot.  I should be upgrading my phone soon and 
will seek a model that has that feature.

BTW I haven't forgotten that I offered to schedule a meeting back in 
September(!) but I haven't had a free weekend or weekday in ages.  
Apologies for not coming clean earlier.

John
