MicroSD card

About a decade ago, Ping saw SONY MD player and was impressed by it. Such a small cd can hold so many songs. Then dad got a digital camera and it is amazing how one can fit so many photos into an 1in. x 1in. SD (secure digital) card.

Last week, Ping got a microSD card for her new mp3 player+handphone. It came in a small envelope and was really shock to see that it is soooooooo tiny. It is even smaller than an US 10cents coin.
Can you imagine that such a small thing can fit 1GB worth of songs? No wonder mp3 players are getting smaller and smaller. They also have 2GB ones but the price is way much more than twice so Ping decided to stick with the 1GB one first. Lucky thing the package that Ping found also has a USB adapter. Otherwise, Ping won't be able to read it as Ping don't have a SD card reader. Basically, Ping has to put the little microSD into the regular SD, which is then plugged into one end of the USB adapter as the other end is to plug into the computer.

Unbelievable!
