MiniSD Card From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
miniSD Card and adapter
Announced for the first time by SanDisk Corporation at CeBIT 2003, the miniSD joined the Memory Stick Duo and xD-Picture Card at this small form factor.
The miniSD card was adopted in 2003 by the SD Association as an ultra-small form factor extension to the SD card standard. While the new cards were designed especially for use in mobile phones, they are packaged with a miniSD adapter which enables compatibility with all devices equipped with a standard SD Memory Card slot.
MiniSD cards are made by several different manufactuers and come in different brand names. Their compatibility is universal.
