In theory, SD and uSD cards are designed to be hot swappable. After a few bad experiences with smartphones, I developed the habit of powering off the device before removing or inserting the card. While I had a couple of cards decide that they were 32MB unformattable devices before I made a habit of powering off, I haven't had that happen since. Other sources have stated this was an issue unrelated to removing the card with power on. Check for 31/32mb SD card issues for more on this failure mode.
So in theory, I can pop the card in and out without power cycling but in practice, bad experiences tell me not powering off is not a good idea.
Regards,
David
