SanDisk Launches 16 GB Mobile Flash Memory

30 Sep, 2008, 12:44 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | Mobile phones

SanDisk is bringing to market its 16GB microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2) mobile memory cards - the world's largest storage capacity for mobile phones. 


The fingernail-sized 16GB memory cards allow consumers to "wake up" the many storage-intensive features offered by today's portable handsets such as music and video playback, high-definition digital camera functions, gaming and GPS applications. In addition to the mobile phone, consumers can use the 16 GB microSDHC card in a multitude of other devices, including a video camera, GPS receiver or a MP3 player with a microSD slot such as SanDisk's Sansa players.

"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. "Flash memory cards have increased in storage capacity, but even an 8GB card may be too small for anyone with GPS map data, a few movies, a game or two, a presentation file and other applications.  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."

SanDisk's 16GB micro SDHC card has an MSRP of Rs. 4499 and the 16GB M2 card has an MSRP of Rs. 4999.

SanDisk's 16GB mobile memory cards will be available at Hot Spot Retail chain, Vijay sales and Croma in October with a five-year limited warranty.
