Having recently become the proud owner of a second device that uses SD cards for storage I’ve started looking into purchasing a 1GB SD card, or maybe even a 2GB (though I’m not sure the new device will handle it. (I’ll post more about the new device when I’ve had some time to play with it.)) So, what do I find this morning in my aggregator, this new SD card from SanDisk with, get this, a built in USB plug. Think about this one folks. An SD card measures 3.2×2.3cm (1.25×0.75in) and is only .2cm thick. USB plugs are 1.1×1.1x.4cm. Do the math. The linked article explains it all. It looks like I’ve got to get me one of these.
