They're used on many things, cellphones, cameras, portable electronics, though some can use full sized SD cards and not just MicroSD cards. And I really see no point in needing 4 GB for pictures or anything, but maybe you have lots of MP3s or videos for your portable electronics.

My dad's PDA/Cellphone uses MicroSD. They're also handy to store illegal files, if they come for you, just swallow it.

You could tape it to your underarm right near your arm pit and no one would notice it if they did a one over on you, they usually check for bulk items, not something that tiny.

Nono, you hide them under your skin like with the laser in The Bourne Identity.

i think now microsd are more like made for the ds since anything prob over 2/4 gb would be for the ds

Uhhhh

no


DS piracy is a very niche market. They are for people who use thier phones as MP3 players or movie players. Stuff like that.

MicroSDs were made as a small but big storage space, it's just a coincidence that Slot-1s uses MicroSDs, not miniSD or even an SD

Nokia Nseries has space capacity of up to, what, 80GB, or 8GB? I forgot... so I think 8GB SDHC wasn't made spesificcaly for flashcarts, but flashcarts took advantage of them

Not really... smaller memory, easier schematics.

psp with adapters or just for portable memory

...even less people use it on PSPs than they do on DSs. Because the PSP has another type of memory that is just as good and requires no adapters! imagine that!

And what do you mean by portable memory? Isn't a microSD card, because of the fact that you can pick it up and carry it to any other computer with extreme ease, portable?
