Actually, I was refering to using MicroSD not Mini SD. and I did mention price...

Quick web check. Looking at 8Gb cards, I'm seeing £33 for SD (Integral), 42 (with bundled 2 card readers) MicroSD. You would still need an adaptor.

Pays your money, makes your choice...

I just think it is more flexible. e.g. Someone with an N810 or a MicroSD mobile says can I have a copy of file x. You can hand them the card and they can grab a copy.

Yes I know you can bluetooth it.

My daughter want's me to download an MP3 for here DS, no problem.

You replace your current device with a new one, better chance of just using the same card if it's a microSD.

etc.

Worth thinking about before taking the plunge.

Sony do wind me up by the way (though I'll still grudgingly buy there stuff it it's that much better). They will deliberatly cripple their product if they have to, just so they can keep you hooked. I get the feeling Apple is in the same camp. iPhone is an MP3 player and phone, but you have to still buy ringtones instead of using existing files.

Sorry, end of rant.
