What is an SD card? show answer

(Secure Digital) cards are a type of storage memory used in many devices such as PDAs, digital cameras, etc. SD cards can be used in PDAs to increase the amount of storage you have on your device for programs and files. It is generally cheaper to buy a PDA with less internal memory and add an SD card to it than to buy one with a larger amount of internal storage. For example it is generally cheaper for me to buy a PDA with 128 MB of internal memory and buy a 128 MB SD card for a total of 256MB of memory vs. buying a PDA with 256 MB of internal memory. You can find a 1 GB SD card for about $20. We highly recommend purchasing an SD card.
