Plenty of linux devices with SD exist. (The entire zaurus line, for example.) Even skipping the whole SD thing, how about a full-size mmc? You can't tell me there isn't another .5cm of room in there somewhere. RS-MMC has got to be the part I hate the most on this - I've got tons of devices, and it is the ONLY one that takes rsmmc. (Most take SD/MMC, or CF, and the new phone takes MMC only. But even the phone takes full-size mmc, and its a nokia 9300i with arguably much higher component density than the 770. Using rsmmc was a really bad move and hopefully one they won't repeat if they want adoption to pick up.) Honestly, the 770 is only a hair smaller than my zaurus (c760) and the zaurus finds room for SD/MMC -and- a full cf slot. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
