miniSD is a smaller version of the SD card format that was developed by the SanDisk Corporation.

History

The miniSD form factor was first introduced on March 13, 2003 by SanDisk, which announced and demonstrated it at CeBIT.[1] The SD Association (SDA) adopted the miniSD card specification in 2003 as a smaller form factor to extend the SD card standard. While the new cards were designed especially for mobile phones, they are usually packaged with a miniSD adapter that provides compatibility with standard SD memory card slots and readers.

On September 12, 2006, SanDisk announced the 4 GB miniSDHC.[2] Like the SD and SDHC, the miniSDHC card has the same form factor as the older miniSD card but the HC card requires HC support built into the host device. Devices that support miniSDHC work with miniSD and miniSDHC, but devices without specific support for miniSDHC work only with the older miniSD card. Since 2008, miniSD cards are no longer produced and have been superseded by the even smaller microSD form factor.
