SanDisk has announced that its new SanDisk miniSD card is now 1 GB. This product is used in a number of mobile phones and other gadgets.
"The 1GB miniSD card provides a level of storage that significantly enhances the features and usability of these full-featured mobile phones," said Nelson Chan, executive vice president and general manager of SanDisk's consumer and handset business. "For example, with a 1GB card you can store approximately 16 hours of MP3 songs, record up to several hours of MPEG-4 video or take more than 2000 digital photos on a 1-megapixel mobile phone. With that level of capability, consolidating music, video, digital camera and other key features into the mobile phone platform is much more meaningful and powerful."
The card will ship with an adapter to allow use in any SD card device. The card will retail for $99.99 and be available in the second quarter of this year.
