theres a magnetic switch next to the camera that can see a metal insert on the cover. search this forum for 'magnet' or 'cover' and im sure you'll find it

so can anyone confirm that its just as safe to remove the cover and let the device automatically unmount the mmc as opposed to powering down to switch it?

not that im going to be switching it much, the latching device is so fragile and makes me yearn for my e71's simple eject slot.

maybe, just maybe, we will someday see the 32gb mirosdhcs that have been in testing since late 2008
