"Sandisk have announced a 4GB, that's right, 4GB miniSDHC memory card, the HC stands for High Capacity. With memory cards expanding in size all of the time Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones truly are becoming the convergance device of choice! Now for a device that supports the format...!"



I never get jaded by these things. Many years ago I paid about $2000 for a 40mb hard drive from HP. OK it was many many years ago. It was as big as two shoe boxes taped together. Look at where we are now! I love this stuff. Smile

And I just upgraded to a 2GB microSD card. Sad It seems there's always something better out there.

According to Sandisk's press release:

"Though standard miniSD and miniSDHC cards look identical in size and shape, only SDHC-compatible products will be able to accept the new miniSDHC cards."


Sad

SDHC cards won't work in the Q. Only in SDHC compatible devices.

No. Only in SDHC compatible devices, of which there currently are none. To the best of my knowledge, this card won't work with any existing smartphone.
