RE: Transfer rates
SD sounds like it's faster.

RE: Transfer rates
"Combined with SD's outstanding data transfer rate of up to 10 megabytes per second, the SD architecture allows quick access to and storage of large amounts of data."

This is a press release so they may be exaggerating a bit but transfer rates seem like they are going to be pretty speedy.
Toshiba is a bit more conservative. They say:
"SD Memory Card packaging includes a new high performance, nine-pin SD interface that enables data transfer rates of up to two megabytes per second and will eventually allow transfer rates of up to 10MB per second."

Mockups, not prototypes.
Isen't a prototype something that works, but was hand produced?
These look more like case mockups - and the pictures are all the same ones that were in the SD related posts earlier, folks. Nothing to see here... Move Along. :)

SD vs CF
RE: SD vs CF
A very compact internal expansion option approximately one-fourth the size of a compact flash card, the SD Card measures 32 mm long by 24 mm wide by 2.1 mm thick.
The SD Card's unique security functions are incorporated in the card, facilitating the secure exchange of content between devices and the card. This security technology has been designed to comply with current and future Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) portable device requirements, making it an excellent medium for the distribution of digital content, including digital music.

RE: m100
I'm wondering if Palm is going to have totally redesign the m100. In addition to promising that future versions would have the SD/MMC slot, at PalmSource they also promised that all future models would share a common HotSync port shape so they could use many of the same peripherals. Those two promises seem to necessitate a fairly serious redesign to the littlest Palm.

Will SD Beat out the Springboard?
"SD will have much more acceptance than Springboard," predicts Kevin Burden, an analyst at International Data Corp. based in Framingham, Massachusetts. "There is a limit to how small you can make the Handspring Visor if it has to support Springboard. Right now, Springboard is the reason you buy Handspring. But longer range, you've got to look where the market is heading. I think we'll see a lot more vendors supporting SD than Springboard because SD is smaller."
But there are always other analysts with different opinions:
"You'll probably be able to use the SD devices on a Handspring before you will be able to use them on a Palm," says Thomas Sepenzis, an analyst at CIBC World Markets Corp., based in San Francisco. "It's a brilliant strategy."
