I wonder, also, how comparable prices will be on these new cards (to SD cards) and how comparable the amount of times it can be overwritten is. If it fits and works in my Z2 I'll take two 4GB cards next year, please. I'll be willing to pay around $100/card. Of course, it might cost more... |

Oh. Apparently an SD card is "a package containing one or more chips and a standardized connector." Who knew? I use "chip" and "card" interchangeably. Now I have an update to my lexicon.
And, how's it going to use the SD bus "meaning that it is electrically compatible with SD allowing a device to support it and an SD card with the same controller chip thereby reducing the overall circuit complexity" if it isn't physically the size of the SD card? OK, so it's smaller than the microdrive, which is the entire point, but to make use of the SD card slot at least part of it must be the SD size, right? Like I said, I'm just kinda geeky. I have a ways to go befre I threaten any of your thrones. Last edited by Pride Of Lions; 09-30-2005 at 09:12 AM. Reason: Added italics. |

This solution is meant for embedded use by OEMs. (I.e. something that is built into devices.)
Incidentally, 4Gb SD cards are already on the market, though they are not widely available yet. Not sure if you can use cards with this capacity on a PalmOS device, though. |
