2GB High Speed MiniSD Cards Available in Taiwan
"2GB MiniSD card from TEC is available for sale now in Taiwan. Read test is at 18MB/s and the write test is 12MB/s. Looking for more fun with your mobile phone? You will first need more storage space for your files. The suggested retail price is 160USD."
Not bad at all. A large capacity, high speed card at a reasonable price. I wonder if they throw a MiniSD to SD converter into the bargain? A fair number of newer Pocket PCs use MiniSD slots, so how are those of you with them dealing with the middle member of the SD family? Are you juggling with converters or do you 'set it and forget it', i.e. never really take the MiniSD card out of your device?

Agreed. I really am ambivalent about the proliferation of smaller formats, but at least this on is in the SD family. With the capacity, speed and price it's almost temptig......

Hi saru83, it's kinda off-topic but this is what I think:
I like thumb-boards and SMS a lot! but in my case it's pretty simple... I tend to use and abuse my devices A LOT! so I rather stay away from moving parts that will eventually fail (meaning the slide-out thumb-board).
I know some ppl say that by the time it fails, you will be moving to a new device... That could be true, but at least I like to keep my devices in the best shape possible (despite the abuse) so I can sell them better.
And also, the Atom will have a much better screen (color depth) and some other features (like the media center) and (important for me) the FM Radio.
So, in conclussion... I rahter pay $200 (or so) more for the slimmer featured-packed Atom.
Best regards,
SNayar

I still use the adapter periodically, for massive file transfers. I think with these things getting higher capacities and the need for fast large data transfers mandates having the adapter.

When're we going to see 2GB MiniSD cards from the online store?
Also, what's the MMC equivalent of MiniSD?

Of course, I haven't seen any evidence that anyone other than O2 will be selling the Atom. The FCC approval is encouraging but not quite enough. Granted, I don't think it makes much sense for Quanta to only provide this device to one carrier. Unless O2 commissioned the development of the device in the first place and got an exclusive contract.

Forget the MiniSD, how about the MicroSD (was TransFlash)?
I plan my next phone to be the next gen Motorola Razr (the V3i -- yes I'm done with my current PDA2k's and JAM). It's coming December and will use MicroSD and has built-in iTunes music player (like the Rokr). So you see, MicroSD gadgets are also here already.
So I'm thinking about skipping the MiniSD altogether and jumping from SD to MicroSD. Pair it up with the Acer n311, sweet...
