Samsung Electronics has announced that it has developed an 8GB microSD (Secure Digital) memory card, a size optimal for today's multimedia mobile phones.
Featuring the highest capacity today for a microSD card, the new fingernail-sized card is capable of storing 2,000 MP3 music files, 4,000 digital photos, or approximately five DVD-quality movies, according to the company.
SD cards, to date, have been largely used for data storage in digital still cameras and increasingly in televisions. MicroSD cards, which are a quarter the size of an SD card, are backward compatible with SD cards using an adapter, to allow multimedia files downloaded by mobile phones to be easily displayed on other media, noted Samsung Electronics.
With a read speed of 16MB/s and a write speed of 6MB/s, Samsung's 8GB microSD card well exceeds the Speed Class 4 SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) standard which requires a data write speed of 4MB/s. This is also much faster than the SD Speed Class 2 designation carried by most competing microSD cards currently on the market, noted the company
