Manufacturers are working on increasing the storage capacity of micro SD cards without incurring some of the complications that are inherent in jamming large amounts of data into such compact spaces. Technology still has its limitations at this point in time - but we're getting there.However, this brings some effects toward the price of the Micro SD itself. Since the card is filled with Disney's movies, the price of this card is more expensive than it used to be. You will find that the price of this card is $ 53.00 each piece.
If you have got a device that does not support micro SD card but support any other type of memory card, you can still use micro SD card in that device by using an adapter. When you buy a micro SD on the web or from a retail shop, you will get a standard SD adapter along with it. Micro SD is also known as TransFlash (TF card). So, if you buy a cell phone that supports TF card, then you should be clear about the fact that your phone supports micro SD.
A newer form of micro SD available in the market is the micro SDHC but it is not supported by most of the gadgets that are available in the market. The size and the shape of both micro SD and micro SDHC are same but micro SDHC have larger storage capacity.
