I really hope it allows downloading to and lauching games direct from SD cards. Cleaning out my fridge is getting really annoying.

This is exactly waht it does.

It also ups the spec to SDHC allowing for higher capacity cards and transfer speeds.

You can buy a 32 GB SDHC card for $80 on Newegg and that will surely be less come spring time when the bigger 64 GB cards launch.   A 16 GB card is just $25 bucks right now.

That's nothing. I bought a new external hard drive (Western Digital brand) that is 320GB for $106. That's a better deal than that 32GB SD card. It's also a slick and portable external HDD. It's the size of an iPod Video, and thin as well. About the size of a wallet.

 

That's nothing, I just bought a 1 TB HDD for $110.00.

But not the point. Point is that we can expand the 512 MB internal RAM by 16 GB for $25, 32 GB for $80 (will come way down by spring), etc...

That wasn't to compare against the price ratio of capacity per dollar.

 

 

EDIT:  Very good point, Mr. Khan.
