Unfortunately, people who have been eagerly awaiting these are in for some bad news: the first of these aren't expected until June at the earliest."

As a 5450 owner :twisted: what about the SD GPS Rcvrs and SD Cameras?
Why all these SD stuff are delaying? I think millions of SD/IO capable devices was sold out. There must be enough demand for all these SD IO devices.

I heard that there were different versions of the SDIO standard. Is this true? Will the devices be compatable with both versions, if this is the case? I'm not expecting much in the way of answers to my questions, but you never know if a SanDisk or Socket rep is cruzing the site. :wink:

I learned that at least in the case of the Toshiba E330 all SDIO is definitely not created equal. Not sure about the others...

That's one of the reasons to get a PPC with dual expansion: Memory for the SD slot, accessories for the CF slot...

What kind of issues did you have?

There are working samples though, as seen at CeBIT a couple of weeks ago!

WOH! I heard they weren't going to be out until July to begin with, so this is good news to me :?

Howdy, I think it will be about time when they release them. For too long CF has gotten the better of stuff in my opinion. It will be better in teh sense of not having to buy expansion packs, and other stuff. I am saying for thosewho are using SD only, older models, etc.
