There are always losers with the introduction of new technology, and they are often those who lag behind in older standards and specifications. The new 4GB miniSD
cards from SanDisk all come from SDHC (SD 2.0) stock, which rules current cellphones and other miniSD-compatible devices out from using these new cards. It is widely tipped for cellphone manufacturers to come out with SD 2.0-ready handsets from next year onwards, so it would bode well for you to avoid making a purchase before the cards become more and more common, resulting in a price reduction. Sometimes, it pays much more not to be an early adopter. You can expect the new 4GB miniSD SDHC cards to come equipped with superior read/write speeds when stacked up against the older SD 1.1 cards.Pros : High storage capacity, future-proof, faster read/write speeds
Cons : Not compatible with current cellphones that do not support SDHC (SD 2.0) specifications
