MemPlug
The Hardware
Some cameras use SmartMedia with much success, but it's not a format that you see everywhere. However, the more I use SmartMedia the more I prefer it. It's a tiny and incredibly thin wafer, thinner than a credit card. When inserted into the MemPlug a SmartMedia card sticks out just a tiny bit. This is almost necessary, otherwise you wouldn't have enough of the card visible to grasp with your fingers to remove it. I'd still prefer, for my own comfort, if there was a way to have the SmartMedia card exist entirely within the Springboard Module.
One other significant feature that makes SmartMedia appropriate for Visor's is it's low power consumption. Most CF Cards draw about ~30mA, while SmartMedia cards sip power at less than <0.02mA. I didn't drawn my Prisms battery at all even after a full system Backup to a SmartMedia card. SmartMedia memory cards are also becoming easier to find, and are now CHEAPER than CompactFlash! I've seen 8MB SmartMedia for $16!
