The correct title of this article is microSD. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical limitations. microSD is an ultra-small, removable flash memory card format originally based on SanDisk's TransFlash card format. It is primarily used in mobile phones, but because of its size and increasing capacity it is also being used in handheld GPS devices, portable audio players, and expandable USB flash memory drives.
At 15 mm x 11 mm x 1 mm — about the size of a fingernail — it is currently the smallest memory card format commercially available. It is about one-fourth the size of a standard SD card but can be inserted into an adapter which allows the card to be used in devices with an SD card slot. Sagem MY V-76 - Full phone specifications.
