Go shopping online for a microSDHC card and you’ll find that while manufacturers don’t hide the speed specs, they’re not exactly crowing about ‘em either. Make no mistake, though: Samsung is mighty proud of its new 32GB number, which boasts a class 10 speed rating and read / write rates of 24MBps and 12MBps — ideal numbers for those of you who plan on making good use of your phone’s 1080p camera. If you’re a storage buff, you know that class 10 is the highest speed category for SD cards at the moment, and that it sits above classes 4 and 6 — the tiers covering many other microSDHCs on the market. No word just yet on pricing, but we think it’s safe to say you’ll be dishing out a premium.

June 10th, 2011 admin Primed goes in-depth on the technobabble you hear on Engadget every day — we dig deep into each topic’s history and how it benefits our lives. Looking to suggest a piece of technology for us to break down? Drop us a line at primed *at* engadget *dawt* com . The introduction of Google Wallet felt a little too good to be true, didn’t it? It’s magical, like the tech equivalent of pulling a rabbit out of a hat. In reality, the tech behind mobile payments has been around since 2003 on a much smaller scale using near-field communications , more commonly known as NFC. The idea behind Wallet (amongst other services, like ISIS) is contactless pay — using your phone as a credit card — and is just one of the many ways NFC can be useful in our everyday lives. In fact, we’re only scraping the surface of what’s theoretically possible. Google is definitely not the first company to dabble in NFC, but it appears to be poised and ready to push the tech’s adoption forward at a rapid pace with the advent of Wallet and Offers . Until now the coals have been hot; but if a fire’s going to start, someone monolithic has to throw a few newspapers in as kindling — and Google volunteered. But what good is NFC if it’s just an acronym that causes our eyes to glaze over? Is El Goog the only instigator? After the break we’ll focus on what NFC is capable of, and why we want it on our phones as soon as yesterday. Continue reading Engadget Primed: What is NFC, and why do we care?

October 30th, 2010 admin We thought the Samsung Focus was the only Windows Phone 7 launch device that could replace its external storage, but the HTC HD7 can apparently do the same — there’s an SD card slot under that Windows Phone logo , and The Unwired managed to replace it while dodging the dreaded “There’s a storage error” screen. What sort of black magic did the publication cast to make it recognize the new card? They’re not quite sure themselves, but several factory resets and physical reinsertion of the chip seemed to do the trick, if only for an 8GB card. If you’re in a daring mood, let us know if it works for you in comments below! Update : HTC tells us that this particular surgery’s a risky one, not only for your warranty but the connectivity of your phone. Here’s what you’re getting yourself into, according to a senior company rep: While this is not technically impossible, one thing that is important to know is that the process of removing the cover to access these components is actually very tricky – and in many cases, will result in the antenna section being irreparably detached from the circuit board (rendering the phone unusable). Additionally, to actually replace the card, a few reasonably important parts have to be forcibly removed. So, just a good warning to anyone thinking of attempting this maneuver is that the possibility of bricking is extremely high, and will, of course, void the product warranty.

October 17th, 2010 admin What do you mean it is only version 5.2? There is no such version of Windows Mobile. There is 5, 6, 6.1, and 6.5. I believe the Fuze only was offered with Windows Mobile 6. There was one official ROM update released, ROM version 5.11.502.2, this would have bumped the Fuze to WM6.1. If you are already running 5.11.502.2, that is the latest official release. Without a USB cable, you would need to look for ways to load the update via the microSD card. I would recommend searching XDA forums for details on how to do that.

September 23rd, 2010 admin DeviceFidelity’s mobile twist on Visa’s payWave system is a nice little solution to the fact that nobody’s bothered to build contactless payment chips into US mobile phones just yet — DeviceFidelity just stuffs the Visa smart chip circuitry into a microSD card and lets you on your way. Of course, this supplants the much needed additional storage on an Android handset, and requires a chunky add-on case for the iPhone, but at least it’s a start. Visa will now start allowing those payWave-enabled devices to make contactless payments at subway turnstiles and taxi backseats in New York City as part of a new trial for the tech. Of course you’ve been able to do this with all sorts of chipped credit cards already, but there’s something very future-ey about swiping your phone to make a payment — now how about ditching the clunky add-ons and building some of this circuitry in by default?

May 2nd, 2010 admin One of the biggest complaints with Android since the dawn of civilization is that the expansive plains of storage available on microSD cards have been left under-utilized; coldly ignored by the OS while it did everything it could to stuff the measly couple-hundred megs of internal storage with apps. Soon that problem will finally be rectified, with a Google representative closing the long-running Issue 1151. The issue, which covers external installation of apps, was opened in October of 2008 and since then was voted on by 2561 people, all of whom want Google to set their memory cards free. Exactly when this functionality is coming it remains to be seen, but the “coming soon” note in comment 535 is very encouraging. Froyo , anyone?

March 7th, 2010 admin Hello, Does anyone know of a method to trandfer over all items from the reserved memory on the LG Neon, into the MicroSD memory card? The manual doesn’t cover this, there are no features in the phone that allows this, and it initially seems that it cannot be done. Please, only helpful answers.
