MiniSD Card

Announced for the first time by [http://www.sandisk.com/ SanDisk Corporation] at CeBIT 2003, the miniSD joined the MemoryStick Duo and xD-Picture Card at this small Form factor.

The miniSD card was adopted in 2003 by the [http://www.sdcard.org/ 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 Secure Digital Card slot.

MiniSD cards are made by several different manufactuers and come in different brand names. Their compatibility is universal.
