Waiting for 8GB MicroSD cards
Waiting for 8GB MicroSD cards

Parent article: A first look at the OpenMoko Neo 1973
I'm eagerly waiting for the 8GB MicroSD cards to appear, since they'd fit my future Neo perfectly. That way I could take my CD collection (heavily recompressed for mobile usage) with me also in Neo, not just the Trekstor Vibez FLAC/Ogg player I currently have.
The first 4GB cards aren't terribly expensive, so it's not going to be too bad for the 8GB cards either, probably.
It's incredible that 8GB can be fitted in an area smaller than a fingertip.

I'm hoping the slot is SDHC and will therefore support >2G, rather than plain old SD. The wiki says "it should work", which is kind of encouraging...

See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Talk:Neo1973_Hardware - seems like the built-in SD controller doesn't support SDHC / SD 2.0, but there is a software way around this, and some Linux kernel work on SDHC.
