Giz Explains: An Illustrated Guide to Every Stupid Memory Card You Need

High on the list of gadget annoyances that make me want to scab my eyes out with a spork—just below cables and batteries—is the unfettered proliferation of memory cards.

As a consolation prize, here's an illustrated guide to all the ones you actually need to know.

Lightning Round: Kingston's 19-in-1 Card Reader

The Gadget: Kingston's 19-in-1 card reader that not only handles the standard SD, CF, MS and MMC cards, there's a native slot for microSD and MMCmicro as well. What this means is you won't need a separate adapter to fit your microSD cards into before docking—fantastic, since lots of phones now use these tiny ass cards in order to save physical space (but sacrifice storage space).

Cellphone/Camera Strap Man Eats, Vomits SD Cards

Carrying around a spare SD, miniSD or microSD card in your pocket is just asking for accidental misplacement. But this little SD Card-eating man is the perfect thing to keep your memory cards close to your cellphone and camera while livening it up at the same time. Fun and practical, something those those sexy lingerie cellphone straps can only meet halfway. [Funshop via Oh Gizmo]

SanDisk 4GB miniSD SDHC Card: Not Compatible With Current miniSD Devices

SanDisk rolled out a 4GB miniSD high-capacity flash (SDHC) memory card, giving you the ability to cram a whole lot of stuff onto a little flash card that's about the size of a fingernail. But don't try to slide this baby into that cellphone that uses regular garden-variety miniSD cards, because that's not going to work. It'll fit perfectly but then nothing will happen. More »

2GB MiniSD + Symbian OS 9 + S60 3rd Edition Device = Good

We love reading employee blogs that talk honestly about their company and their products, instead of the verbose, often meaningless gushing we get in press releases. We were reading the See Into S60 blog today, written by people working at Nokia Technology Platforms, and were charmed to see one of them posting about being nervous when trying a 2GB MiniSD card out for the first time in their Nokia E61.

MiniSD WiFi Cards Working in the Wild

The sheer amount of crap they can fit inside a little sliver of plastic is truly mind-boggling. The Spectec MiniSD card is a full-bore WiFi card in something the size of one of my dandruff flakes and those geeks at Daves iPaq have gotten it up and working. Dave writes: More »
