So you're saying that 256MB flash cards could be advertised as having 268.4MB? A 512MB RAM stick is mislabelled and could correctly say 536.8MB? That's just plain craziness.
No, I meant to advertise it as a 256 MiB flash device and a 512 MiB flash device, as the Mi prefix has a single interpretation, that is 2 to the power of 20, as per IEC 60027-2, whereas M has not if used outside SI units.
