5. I'm using an emulator as opposed to an actual device.

There is no physical Android device in this scenario. Instead, there is an emulator that runs in Windows 7 that simulates what the Android phone would look like. This makes it easier than loading my application to the phone every time I want to test it. I write the code in Eclipse, which launches the Android emulator when I run the code.

I'm not dealing with any Windows 7 issues, it's Java being used to write within the Android system, all of which is new to me.

Anyway, I got the SD card in the emulator to work by rebuilding the "avd" file a different way (I think that's what I did anyway, not sure). Thanks!
