Our digital media devices, like camera, cell phones and music players, often use detachable storage cards. This allows the user to buy larger capacity cards later on, rather than settling for the built-in capacity. "xD" is one such detachable card.
xD Basics
The xD is a common memory card, particularly for digital cameras. It looks about the size of a saltine, and has gold contacts on it that plug into a device to store images and other data.
Full Cards
The xD card comes in a wide variety of storage capacities, from 16 megabytes to 2 gigabytes (1,000 megabytes equal 1 gigabyte). These cards are generally smaller in capacity than their competitors, so they can run out of space more often.
Interacting With an xD card
If your camera or other device is informing you that its xD card is full, you can delete pictures and other data using the device's interface. You can also usually attach this device to your computer with a USB cable and delete items from there.
Computer xD Management
If you need software to see your camera's images, you can download free programs like Google Picasa or Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Managing xD Space
High-resolution photos take up a lot of space on a memory card. Try using a lower resolution, or getting a higher-capacity card.
