Yes, sure, nothing is :-) Still I think anything is beter than FAT 
filesystem with synchronous writes (FAT table updated after writing each 
cluster) which is typical usage for memory cards. Ext2 or even ext3 
witch asynchronous writes and noatime should be much better.

Here are quite interesting links I found later
