Here is the stuff I have read in the past hour while researching microSD (I have never had a device that has needed it)...
1. TransFlash is that same thing as MicroSD (it became MicroSD in 2005)
2. The limitations that SD had aren't suppose to be in microSD, meaning that reading shouldn't crap out when putting in a card of "HC" = "HighCapacity". They built the standard to read above 2GB in size.
3. SDHC cards were basically a new standard and introduced a new instruction set to talk to the memory 4GB and above, and this isn't the case with MicroSD.
4. It was at 3GSM in Barcelona when SanDisk introduced the 4GB microSD card, and said it would be available "sometime later this year".
5. MicroSD is slow, slower read/write speeds than SD, and the newer cards are going to comply with the new SD Speed Class 2 spec, which from what I have read, all devices with microSD slots since the name was changed has been using. Only transFlash slots were SD Speed Calls 1.
So this means we shouldn't have any issues with higher speed card (of the class 2 variety), nor should we have issues with higher capacity cards. But of course, only time will tell, and once we actually get the phone in our hands, AND they actually produce 4GB cards, then we will know, until then, it's not something to worry about.
If we had the device, 2GB is out limit so far until "sometime later this year".
