One reason I regulary remove my uSD card from the FR to put it in a card reader is the incredible slow USB 1.1 port. 1GB with 12 Mbit/s is more than 11 min (but 12 Mbit/s will never be reached) The PC world moves to USB 3, so it should be possible to include USB 2 to GTA02 successors... > One thought is that future phones should include two uSD cards - one > 'internal' for OS/kernel etc. and one that is 'removable' for data > storage/exchange - although this is out of scope for GTA02-core. Great! If I compare the size of my Palm TX with my FR, even a SD would be possible. But uSD is probably more up to date and allows more compact cases.
