"Small and Dinky"

This is a review of the Kingston MINI-SD Secure Digital card , Kingston p/n SDM/1GB. The first picture above shows a blue "standard", not " mini" SD card and is a little misleading (thank you, Ciao)...

cheap; hi-capacity storage for cameras and PDAs

small; easily misplaced

Somewhat incompatible

I bought tis to use in a Motorola KRZR phone. When installed in the phone, it would occasionally be recognized, but most of the time it wasn't detected by the phone. Others have also described similar problems with the Kingston micro-SD cards and Motorola phones.

Reasonably priced SD

SD cards - the modern day equivalent of camera film. But what is the benefit of buying an expensive SD card over a cheap one? Well, there are two things really - firstly, it's a question of reliability.
