Problem with this idea is the future. I haven't done much searching
to be sure, but the way these things usually work is you see fewer and
fewer units manufactured requiring the older form factor, then a few
years later you don't see the cards anymore. If sd is the future, I'd
suggest we jump on it. It might even use less battery power or have
other advantages.
