A New Global Memory Card Standard

Posted by kdawson on Saturday June 2, 2007 @09:11AM from the coming-this-year dept.

Lucas123 writes "The MultiMedia Card Association has approved a new memory card standard called the Multiple Interface Card (miCard). The card will make transferring pictures, songs, and other data between electronic gadgets and PCs easier. Twelve Taiwanese companies are preparing to manufacture the new miCard. 'The compatibility with both USB and MMC slots means most users won't need separate card readers anymore. MMC cards fit most consumer electronics, while USB connections are built into a wide range of IT hardware...'" Initial cards will hold 8 GB; the maximum the standard supports is 2,048 GB.

The image shows that they can be used with an adapter to fit an existing SD card slot.

Can these things just be stuck strait into USB slots?
