"micard" New Memory card Standard

[kumars]

Taiwanese research institutes have developed a new memory-card standard called the miCard (Multiple Interface Card). This card has been designed to operate with both consumer electronics and personal computers. The cards are designed to be compatible with the MMC type memory cards used in many low end consumer electronics products as well as the USB standard which enables interaction with PC’s and laptops.

Storage space will initially top out at 8GB but the maximum capacity is expected to increase to 2048GB over time (that’s 2TB!!)


As you can see,(in the image) the miCard is tiny and can be inserted directly in to a USB socket without the need to have a full-size USB connector.

Thats good news. A new standard, but no new device required for PCs to share the data on the card. Thats much better than the clumsy card readers. I was wishing such a card would be deviced.
