Probably, but I'm not sure enough of the technology used for the two types to be really know. What I do know is that if the micro SD card fails, it can be replaced. Fixed memory can't be. And I have messed up and put the wrong firmware on my Glo. I was able to get an image and restore that to fix it.

Personally, I think the biggest danger with the separate card is from someone not knowing what they are doing. And I think we've just had a demonstration of that.
