Advantages: Small and compact Disadvantages: Not enough space to be useable
...My latest phone is an Orange SPV C550. The prerequisite to buying this phone was that it had to have a memory card inside to save off MP3's and photos.
The card I got with this was a Sandisk MiniSD 128MB card.
When you take the card out you realise just how small it is. I would say its just a bit smaller than a standard postage stamp. I was amazed at how the size of memory has reduced over recent years.
The small physical size also has the added benefit that you can store it almost anywhere and not worry about it taking up space. Unfortunately this has the added effect of being easy to loose.
The actual card as I said stores up to 128MB of data. For the purpose of my phone this just isn't big enough so I have recently replaced the card with a bigger one. The 128MB card is now used as a spare and to transfer files between PC...

Advantages: Reasonable image quality, In Camera red eye removal, Disadvantages: Noisy Pictures, Chromatic Abhorrations
...INTRODUCTION
The Photosmart 415 is HP's basic entry level 5 MP camera. It comes equipped with a 3x Optical zoom lens, 6 x digital zoom, a 1.5" TFT screen, a supposed 16 Megabytes of internal memory (more on that later), selectable ISO levels, picture effects, in camera red eye removal, innovative Adaptive lighting system and 8 (so HP claim) shooting modes. As a standalone unit it's virtually identical to it's big brother the M417 apart from the smaller LCD, 1x less on the digital zoom, and lack of a burst mode, and as such it's not available in many shops or online stores. HP is selling through their online partner store Insight for the supposed price of £90 (actually £91.99) which, after Arfur Daley's favourite tipple has been added, works out at £108.09, a remarkably cheap price for a branded 5 Megapixel snapper...

Advantages: cheap, hi-capacity storage for cameras and PDAs Disadvantages: small, easily misplaced
...This is a review of the Kingston MINI-SDSecureDigital card, Kingston p/n SDM/1GB. The first picture above shows a blue "standard", not "mini" SD card and is a little misleading (thank you, Ciao)... the actual device under review is shown at the end of this review (or possibly as the second photo above if Ciao's photo selector is working).
***Geek warning: This review contains some seriously beep-bop technical guff, so if you are not of a technical bent, skip to the last 2 paragraphs, and photos, now! ***
One definition of a typical SD, or "SecureDigital", card: an attempt by some storage manufacturers to oust the more common disk drive, as a storage medium, from the ever-increasing plethora of hand-held devices that can store pictures, music, video, electronic files or e-mail... A primary argument for the widespread use...

This year, Santa brought me my first digi-cam (see review). I was chuffed to bits, and was soon snapping away at anything that moved, and often things that didnt!
Now, as with many other models my camera came with only 16mb of in-built memory, and I... more
I bought this mouse because I needed a mouse urgently and this was the only one available with a known name.
Realistically, how much space do you save in a laptop bag by buying a small mouse? I would rather have the comfort of a full size one.
