The biggest problem with Mini-SD is that its soon to be abandoned. MicroSD has already exceeded the amount of size available for miniSD (microSD has 8GB cards, mini has 4GB), so I don't see why anyone would ever bother with the stopgap miniSD solution, besides the fact that larger microSD cards have been announced, but nobody seems to be working on larger miniSD ones. There should be only two types of flash memory (well, maybe I'd even say three if you want to keep compactflash around): SD for larger devices and microSD for smaller ones. Anything else is just excess at this point.

, in which case you have to either recompile the kernel with (just) one additional option checked, or wait for fanoush do do it for you.

Can one use both a Bluetooth keyboard *and* GPS at the same time? Plus, now that OS2008 supports Bluetooth ADP, people would want to pair their Bluetooth headset as well.
As for mini-SD becoming obsolete, it does not matter as you can hook a micro-SD card with a micro-to-mini adapter, no?

The emerging standard for ultra-portables (cellphones, tablets.... cellphones) is mini-SD and micro-USB. Nokias choice to adhere to this standard can only mean that the N810 will be more compatible with future devices. Hopefully these communication standards have matured and will remain the stable for a long time.
I suppose with proper thought out standards, we wouldn't have three size variants of USB that do the same thing, and at least three version variants. Not very 'universal', but to be expected in a time of rapid technological growth.
Tonight we sail!

Now, SD cards from a tablet wouldn't fit in a phone with mini- or micro-SD, but then again a tablet is a type of device where you typically insert cards from other devices (to copy phone/camera data to and from, for example), not the other way around. I agree with the poster that suggested that when abandoning SD one could as well go all the way to micro-SD. Hey, maybe they would've been small enough to let it keep having two slots..

And is no one really picking up on Quim's comment about shared folders?

.. it does make sense, especially if the media player is really much better at handling "normal" (i.e. not specially encoded) videos.Though that also mean.. I want an easy-to-install Ogg Vorbis plugin! (mogg does not seem to do the trick, even after a restart, on OS2007)
Quim Gil did not mention printing, though? Hmm.
