Title: TF Card Slot?
Post by: daldude on February 12, 2012, 12:39:39 AM
I think there is a typo on the page for the AirPad 7p :-[. It says for the list of features on the end of the tablet where the USB Port is near the corner next to the Audio Out port it says it has a TF Card Slot, my guess is that it should have said CF Card Slot am I right or is there such a thing as a TF Card Slot?

Here is a URL leading to information about the "TF" card.

ANSWER:
The microSD format was originally called T-Flash, and then TransFlash, before being renamed microSD when adopted by the SD Card Association (SDA). At 15 mm x 11 mm x 1.0 mm it is currently the smallest memory card format available. It is about one quarter of the size of a standard SD card but can be inserted into an adapter which allows the card to be used in devices with an SD card slot. TransFlash and microSD cards are essentially the same, and each can be used in devices made for the other type. There is one exception, which is that unlike TransFlash, microSD devices have the capability to support NFC (Near Field Communication).


These are all the same:
1. TransFlash
2. TF
3. T-Flash
4. MicroSD
5. MicroSDHC
.
Thanks

You say "micro sd hc" is compatible with TF?  So I really can put a brand-new 32GB micro sd hc card into my original Airpad 7 and have it work?

I did read the previous post, and I specifically referred to information from the previous post -- apparently you didn't read my post?  I was posting to ask for confirmation of one detail of what the previous post says; hence, your post is completely useless to me, and rather rude to boot.

dd-b the answer is yes and I don't think cjhallx had any intention of being rude, please be aware that he and others help people on this forum all the time and we find that the info people seek is posted in the forum and some people do not read the posts.

H,

Thank you.
If I got as picky as dd-b I would have said something when he rudely replied to my post trying to help him find out the manufacturer of the MID he just picked up.  Not even a thank you.
Must be the heat. It too shall pass.

Thanks for the confirmation!  People frequently post lists of things without fully considering the validity of every case represented by the list, and I wanted to confirm 32GB was going to fly.  I greatly appreciate the confirmation.

be aware that some cards will not show up as the capacity you think it should because of formating

On the capacity -- you mean the "megabyte" vs. "mebibyte" thing?  (1000-based vs. 1024-based, or decimal-based vs. binary-based)?  That I'm entirely used to.  I use a lot of kinds of memory cards in cameras, sound recorders, PDAs, and other devices, and my expectations have been beaten into line with reality in that area.
