Shock: Sandisk Increase Memory Card Sizes & Increase Speeds
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 06:00 PM
"Today SanDisk hit us with three separate capacity boosting announcements. First, they doubled the capacity of their Extreme III Cards . . . [T]he new cards include the Extreme III 8GB CompactFlash for $560, the $200 2GB SD, and the 4GB Memory Stick PRO . . . for $420 green. The CF and SD cards both feature a minimum read/write speed of 20 MB/sec . . . Likewise, SanDisk also announced a capacity doubling 2GB SanDisk Ultra II SD Plus Card (pictured) due in June for $135. . . Thanks for the updates SanDisk, and more importantly we appreciate you not introducing any new memory card formats on us.
Excellent. Good to see the boringly predictable, yet edifying pattern of storage cards announcements continue. More space, for less money at higher speeds. What's not to like? There's more details at MobileMag. It's good to own a Pocket PC that can still take CF cards. I can think of a lot of good stuff to fit on 8Gb. ;-)
