SanDisk 4GB SDHC Card Released
Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 02:15 AM
"SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today introduced a 4-gigabyte (GB) SD High Capacity (SDHC) card. The new cards, which support capacities of 4GB and higher, are rated Class 2 for speed and performance and can store more than 2,000 high-resolution pictures, more than 1,000 digital songs or up to 8 hours of MPEG 4 video. The 4GB SDHC card will be bundled with the MicroMate USB 2.0 reader at no extra charge. These new readers work with both SDHC and SD cards. SDHC cards require an SDHC-compatible reader."
SanDisk's 4GB SDHC card is here. Bad news is it requires SDHC-compatible devices/readers for it to work, and most (all?) current Pocket PCs aren't a part of that group. But it's definitely a sign of things to come. The SDHC specification supports capacities up to 32GB, and I'm pretty certain that the next generation of mobile devices will be SDHC-compatible. With all that in place, who needs a Microdrive? ;)
