Oh. Apparently an SD card is "a package containing one or more chips and a standardized connector." Who knew? I use "chip" and "card" interchangeably. Now I have an update to my lexicon.

And, how's it going to use 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" if it isn't physically the size of the SD card? OK, so it's smaller than the microdrive, which is the entire point, but to make use of the SD card slot at least part of it must be the SD size, right?

Like I said, I'm just kinda geeky. I have a ways to go befre I threaten any of your thrones.
