New operating systems are just like everything else. One of the first obstacles on the steep learning curve is the vocabulary, and one of the first sources of frustration is how every stupid that vocabulary seems until you get the hang of it. Card? Really? Where all the words that don't already have a well established meaning in the world of portable electronics taken already?  |
Once you get your Touchpad you will find that "card" is actually a very fitting name.
As for me, I would say SDHC card, expansion card or something when referring to a memory card
Well, what would life be without those little misunderstandings?
