With the SD you can dual-boot, triple-boot or whatever. This lets you keep a 
stable system and a testing system, or to pick whether you want to boot into 
2007.2, ASU, FSO or Qtopia. If you need more space than the internal flash 
then SD may be good, and you might prefer it if you worry about write cycles 
on the internal flash. OTOH SD (on the Freerunner) uses the limited bandwidth 
to the Glamo.

Couldn't say - I've only used the Freerunner.

Not sure what you mean by this. That time isn't set on your phone? Timezone 
not set? Or timestamp of the files looks wrong?

The default ones, plus my own as generated by mokomakefile
