I've just seen details of a device which uses a TF card.

Hadn't heard of this before so I tried to look it up but the information
seems to be a bit garbled and different depending on where you look.

I THINK that a TF card is a subset of a microSD card. That is, it has the
same basic functionality but doesn't come with a write protect tab or
extra data channels for use e.g. as a bluetooth adapter.

However it might just be an early name for a microSD card.

Or not.

Anyone know for sure?

They're the same. Vendors have to pay to use the SD card trademarks, so
cheapskate (mostly Chinese) vendors instead say they have a TF slot.

TransFlash was an early name for the cards before the SD Card Association
got involved, and presumably the trademark protection on that isn't as
strong as the SD trademarks.

Don't think a micros SD has a write protect tab either (unless you put
it into a MicroSD to SD card adapter.

I get the impression that its basically an old name for what we now call
a microSD - that went out of use when the SD consortium bought the
technology, but it has gained some use again (possibly due to licensing
issues with the SD consortium).
