SanDisk Begins Sales of Mini SD Cards in Japan
Posted by Crystal Eitle in "HARDWARE" @ 09:10 AM
"Removable flash memory card developer SanDisk said Thursday that it has begun selling miniSD cards in Japan. MiniSD is a smaller version of the Secure Digital card and is intended for use in cell phones and small portable digital audio players. The first mobile phones with built-in slots for the miniSD cards are hitting the Japanese market with NTT DoCoMo leading the way with its 505i phone. SanDisk is selling the $24, 32MB card initially with higher capacities, up to 256MB, due out later this year."
Yay, yet another format! :roll: My response to this is a big shrug. What, SD cards are too big? We need a memory format that's the size of a thumbnail? Imagine dropping one of these in a crowded room - it'd be like losing a contact lens - "okay everybody don't move! I need help finding my miniSD card!"
I only hope that the miniSD to SD adapter alluded to in this thread will be a reality - and included with every miniSD card.
