You hear that rumble? That’s the purring of hundreds of thousands of handsets around the country, aching to gobble up one of the 16GB microSDHC and M2 cards just announced by SanDisk this morning.
This announcement lifts the bar from the previous 8GB limit, allowing handsets which rely on microSDHC/M2 as their primary user memory to go gig-for-gig with handsets carrying 16GB internally, such as the iPhone and Nokia N96. If you’ve got a device that works with the 4 and 8 gigabyte microSDHC cards already on the market, you should be able to swap one of these in without issue. The timing couldn’t be much better for the G1, N79, and the gaggle of other high-capacity ready handsets set to launch over the next few months.
The 16GB microSDHC will set you back $99.99, while the M2 will go for $129.99. Both models will begin shipping come October.
And here I am hoping to win an 8 gigger.
8 gig should do me just fine for now, once the Touch HD is out and I need higher res video files it might be time to invest in one of these.
where can i get one of these things for meh G1??
New contest for one of these please. =]
how fast do these come down in price? How much was the 8gigs when they first came out? 32 must be right on the horizon…
$100 actually isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was expecting it to be something like 200 dollars or something ridiculous. I hate memory prices, they always fall soooo much right after you buy them. >0
Can’t wait for these to come down in price!! Would be fantastic for my RockBoxed Sansa e200!!
No need for a new contest; just one that I win :)
Please, please let me win!
i only have a 4gb for my PSP…. :(
