Not exactly "new news", but I'm cleaning out some email that's a couple of weeks old and came across this update. Great to see SD support!
"With Flash Format you can get detailed information and statistics about your storage cards, including physical characteristics (FAT type, sectors, cluster, cylinders, etc.) and analysis of file allocations (slack space). Of course, you can also use Flash Format to perform integrity checks, repair allocation errors, and re-format storage cards to original conditions, directly on your handheld device: wherever and whenever you need it.
The latest version includes full support for SD cards (or MMC cards accessed through a SD slot), and includes options to choose FAT type and cluster size when formatting, plus the ability to create a backup FAT to improve storage reliability. Furthermore, if you are using a Pocket PC device, Flash Format lets you activate AutoRun on any storage card (without reformatting), so that your games, MP3 playlists, eBooks or PhotoAlbums can be automatically started at card insertion."
