MiniSD Card
|
|
Announced for the first time by SanDisk Corporation (http://www.sandisk.com/) at CeBIT 2003, the miniSD joined the MemoryStick Duo and xD-Picture Card at this small Form factor.
The miniSD card was adopted in 2003 by the SD Association (http://www.sdcard.org/) as an ultra-small form factor extension to the SD card standard. While the new cards were designed especially for use in mobile phones, they are packaged with a miniSD adapter which enables compatibility with all devices equipped with a standard SD Memory Card slot.
