22 May, 2009, 2:32 pm IST | by Shayne Rana |

Kingston Technology has announced the addition of 8GB microSD High-Capacity (SDHC) and 16GB microSD High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash memory cards to its mobile memory storage line.

This should now offer users higher storage options to the latest mobile phones and digital devices in the smallest footprint available.


"Consumers are demanding more from their mobile phones, expecting them to perform as portable music or game players, digital cameras, email communicators, browsers and navigators. Having enough storage capacity, particularly in the form of memory cards, keeps internal device memory free to deliver all this multi-functionality," said Scott Chen, Vice President of APAC Region, Kingston. "Our 8GB and 16GB microSDHC cards are so roomy that mobile users can easily move entire digital libraries from a PC to their mobile phones - and beyond,” he added.
