Two new flash memory products for mobile handsets touted as "world's largest".
Data storage specialist Sandisk has announced the launch of a 16GB microSDHC and a Memory Stick Micro of the same capacity.
Sandisk is aiming the cards at consumers who use storage-intensive phone features such as music and video playback, gaming and GPS applications.
Additionally, the microSDHC card can be used in a multitude of other devices including video cameras, GPS receivers or MP3 Players that use a microSD slot.
The cards will be available in the US, Europe and Asia in October.
“Handsets have become far more than just phones - they’ve become mobile jukeboxes, mobile offices, even mobile movie theaters,” said Avi Greengart, Research Director for Mobile Devices at Current Analysis.
“There is an acute need for more mobile storage capacity. 16GB gives consumers the ability to carry their digital content with them and still have room to do more with their mobile phones.”
