Well having used SD cards on android devices I find that internal storage is better because:
Not all apps can be stored on the SD card
For some apps part is stored on the SD card and part on the device
I find that this makes things quite messey.
Also I've had several SD cards become corrupted, rendering them useless and you loose access to all the data.
They also have the potential to be a security risk:
I once sold a phone. I wiped the phone but forgot to take out the SD card. Luckily there was nothing important on there just some music and videos.
They are good for storing external media like videos, photos and music but that's it really.
I think having a 16GB device with expandable storage is a horrible combination. I had a few android tablets/phones like this and I was always running out of internal storage space because I didn't have enough space for my apps.
So this is why I prefer internal storage. However I suppose there are some out there who want expandable storage on their iPads so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have an SD card slot for those people.
