That is NOT what the report is saying. One, they are reporting on a "chip" and not a package containing one or more chips and a standardized connector. Two, it is saying that the new chip is compliant with the "SD Bus", meaning that it is electrically compatible with SD allowing a device to support it and an SD card with the same controller chip thereby reducing the overall circuit complexity. They are not saying that it is physically compatible with the SD form factor. Since they are targeting a market based on replacing the internal micro-drives, the new device only needs to be smaller than about the size of a CFII card.
