I have been looking through my granddads SD card stash and found a "Mini" not "micro" SD card by Vodafone.
I have tried google searching for mini SD cards and the only thing that seems to show up is "Micro" SD cards.
Was this going to become a new technology so we would of had a full sized SD card, Mini SD card and Micro SD card?
I know that it is very old as it is only 128MB but was there really going to be a mini SD card on the market too?
wow ancient....I forgot that was ever made. I really wonder indeed what devices would allow you to use a mini sd.
I think it was in a camera at one point as there is a picture on it but I don't know because it was in an adapter when I found it.
maybe a few. But most camer's still use the bigger format. They don't care if it small only if its fast and hold there pictures.
But maybe somebody who knows will help us :p
The label of the card when I put it in the computer says "Nikon D80" which I think is an old camera.
Well its better then Sony with there special designed cards, but damn its weird how many different cards we make....
Read this...
ah yeah duh Wikipedia...it knows :p But i think its indeed somthing like ZIpdrives. Also something that you think was it ever going to be wildly used.
I suspect this was a camera card, many adaptations of Sd cards were made in early digital cameras until everyone just accepted the standard
Some cameras and mp3 players supported these, maybe legacy smartphones (Windows Mobile?) but they never really took off because full sized SD cards worked well for most applications of the time. By the time small sizes really mattered, we had microSD.
I'd assume it's from an old phone, considering the Vodafone branding.
nostalgic because if you had a micro SD you would need to have a mini sd adapter that adapted to standard sd adapter... SOOOO CUTE
like russian matroska dolls
I have one of those mini-SD in this guy right here. It's a very old standard and I've never seen one around ever (beside the one in my device obiviously). I think it's one of those standards that started well but got immediatly obsolete.
Some phones used mini SDs and I have an old HD camcorder that used them for storing still photos. They are all but forgotten now though. I still have my second camera that uses XD cards, Sony used Memory Stick/ProDuo. There were also MMC card (Multimedia Card), SmartMedia, Micro Drive and there are still CF cards around for higher end cameras. Memory cards being a uniform standard is a pretty new thing.
Necro.
