Mini SD Memory Cards – Memory Card Guide

Portable media has put pictures, videos, movies, and other files on the move in the 21^st century. After the SD card was unleashed, one fact became clear: although it was a marvelous advent, it was still too large for portable electronics. And so the miniSD format was made suitable to supplement various devices’ built-in memory. For instance, some MP3 players may come with an expandable memory slot, upgrading it from 512MB to 2GB. In terms of its size, a miniSD memory card has a clear advantage, because it’s nearly half the size of SD cards. Measuring just 20×21.5×1.4mm, it was designed elegantly, for use in medium-sized handheld devices like voice recorders, cameras and video recorders.

When the SD Association established the miniSD brand in 2003, little could be predicted about its success. There was a demand for smaller memory chips, but would miniSD win? Because the SD Association had previous experience in such non-volatile flash media formats, launching it wasn’t a problem; the Association already had connections with large companies that manufactured various SD-compatible electronics, which quickly adapted to miniSD memory cards. The main advantage of miniSD over SD was its size, and it even lacked a write protect switch, but technologically they were nearly identical; fears of redundancy made room for doubt in its success. The result? Today, a tiny, 32GB miniSD memory card can fit over 545 hours of 128Kbps music on it.

This is how a miniSD card compares in size.

The card’s SD socket is an electro-mechanical adapter with 11 pins and a narrow, short, thin form. All cards support 1-bit mode, and some support 4-bit mode; 8-bit mode is not available with miniSD cards. Data transfer is done at 100Mbit/sec and 25Mbit/sec in SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus. Access control can be managed via DRM, however the functionality for user encryption wasn’t implemented. MiniSD is open-source compatible. A miniSD card works at 2.7-3.6V of electricity; regular ones come in various capacities not exceeding 2GB, and High Capacity miniSD memory cards are available between 4 and 32GB. You can fit two full feature, high-definition movies on a 32GB miniSD. Even a 2GB card can fit over 700 10MP high quality photos! Besides expanding your memory capabilities, a device that supports miniSD offers you quicker speeds and higher data transfer rates than typical built-in flash memory.

The format is now 10 years old; at the 2010 CES, SD celebrated its anniversary, and released the following statement that outlines their plans for the future:

“With an estimated 2.5 billion SD memory cards shipped, SD is now the worldleading de facto interface of removable media. During the past 10 years, the SD Association shepherded SD technology from an upstart in the then-highly fragmented removable media market to a leader with nearly 80 percent market share today. The first SD memory cards offered a then-amazing 8 megabytes of storage capacity in the size of a postage stamp, while the latest specification, SDXC, will enter the market at 64 GB, an 8,000 times capacity increase over the first SD memory cards, and scaling up to 2 terabytes of storage in capacity.”

The use of miniSD quickly spread to devices like GPS navigators, printers, electronic book readers, DVRs, and even video game systems. Because it was essentially the same thing as SD, a simple adapter turns any miniSD into a regular SD card. Before buying an electronic device that allows you to expand the memory with a memory card, make sure it’s an SD, a miniSD, or a microSD card; other formats include CompactFlash and Memory Stick, but those cards are bulkier in size. If you already have a camera, a camcorder, a digital voice recorder, or another device with a memory card, and you’re not sure what format it is, consult with your manual or look it up online.

Putting together a feature-for-feature Kindle vs iPad review, which device will likely prevail? No doubt about it, the Apple iPad, with its recent much hyped about launch, is the “in” thing at present. Hardcore Apple consumers can hardly wait to get their hands on one as the WiFi models are expected to ship in late March, while the 3G models are to be delivered starting April. When that time comes, we will no doubt see long lines in front of every Apple store just like what happened with the sale of the iPhone.

But how does the entry of the iPad affect the current crop of ebook readers such as the Kindle, Nook, and Sony Reader?  The ereader is fast becoming a common consumer device, with the Kindle getting the bigger share of the market. Seeing the promise of such a device however, a lot of similar ebook readers have also cropped up, with most of them sporting practically the same attributes as that of the Kindle. Now with the entry of tablet PCs like the iPad which can also ably function as an ebook reader, the gadget need may swing  to multi-functional devices. So, is the iPad poised to take over the ereader market? Let’s weigh the significant elements.

First off, the negatives. The iPad will only be connected to Apple’s own ebook store. While getting an iPad is a smart move for those who are still considering buying an ebook reading gadget, if you already own a ton of ebooks, you won’t be able to access these in the iPad. Actual ebook prices are still to be confirmed, but there’s word that purchasing iBooks in the Apple ebook store is going to cost you around $12.99 and $14.99. This can be a little steep if you have to start from scratch. Plus, Amazon’s ebooks are still retailing at $9.99 apiece.
 
Nonetheless, buying an iPad has its own share of advantages, being a device that can serve a lot of functions. You can use this oversized iPhone clone, sans the “phone”, to stream high-def movies, catch your favorite TV shows, browse the web, and play games on a 9.7 inch IPS touch screen. True to Apple standards, the resolution and color is amazing, and it comes with your choice of 16-GB, 32-GB or 64-GB internal storage. With such storage capacity, the Library can hold tons of books, which are ingeniously displayed on a “book shelf” design. With an easy tap, you can pick out your ebook, and read it on the high-resolution, LED back-lit screen. Depending on your memory and connectivity preferences, prices start out at $499 and end at $829. It does run special apps developed specifically for the iPad, and you’ll have access to many of the 140,000 other apps at the App Store.

On the other hand, the Amazon Kindle is a device designed for the user’s most relaxing and easy reading experience in mind. Unlike the LCD monitor of the iPad, the Kindle, like the current batch of ebook readers, is equipped with e-ink display, which many say, is still best for reading for longer periods of time. The Kindle’s battery can last up to two weeks without recharging, so it could also make the perfect traveling companion. The 6-inch model is priced at $259, while the 9.7-inch Kindle DX costs $489.

So which gadget gets our thumbs up in this Kindle vs iPad comparison? Definitely for the gadget geek, the iPad will go perfectly alongside his MacBook Pro, AirPort Express, Magic Mouse and its smaller counterpart in looks, the iPhone. Jobs and his staff have come up with yet another brilliant product for the hardcore Apple user. But for the booklover just aiming to read in the most conjucive “environment” and don’t require all of the other fancy features, the Kindle ebook reader remains to be your best option on the market today.
