Pretec, known for pioneering the world's smallest USB Flash Drive, has released the S-Diamond, the world's first memory card to implement the miCard standard. miCard is a new flash memory card standard from the MMC Association and is capable of supporting both USB and SD/MMC specs.

The miCard measures 21mm by 12mm by 1.95mm and has an area 40 percent smaller and a volume 18 percent smaller than a miniSD card. Through the use of an adapter, the miCard can also act as an SD/MMC card. Capacities will range from 128MB to 8GB. The card has a theoretical max capacity of 2048GB.

The S-Diamond will make its debut at Computex 2007 in Taipei. Official miCard specs will be released to MMCA members later this year, and the card is scheduled to go into production by Q3. A version using digital USB technology is also slated for a Q4 release.
