Nitpick: SDHC card sectors are always 512 bytes, and most SD card sectors are 512 bytes too. Flash memory would benefit from larger sector sizes too, but they've probably stuck to 512 bytes for Windows compatibility.
This is no longer true. Most 2x NAND memory manufactured in the past year is 4KB block sizes with 8KB coming soon. That it pretends to be 512 bytes is a function of the SDIO MLC driver IC. Luckily for SD they come pre-partitioned so that the partitions are aligned properly.
