Larger Capacity Cards Offer Wireless Consumers Handy Storage Options to Maximize Device Performance, Manage Digital Content

Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the addition of 8GB microSD High-Capacity (SDHC™) Flash memory cards to its mobile memory storage line. Shipping immediately, the new 8GB microSDHC cards offer greater 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 double as music and portable game players, instant 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 Wendy Lecot, Flash card business manager, Kingston. “Our 8GB microSDHC cards are so roomy that mobile users can easily move entire digital libraries from a PC to their mobile phones — and beyond.”

Kingston 8GB microSDHC cards can store more than 1,500 digital songs(a), more than 4,000 images from a 5MP cameraphone(b), or up to eight hours of video©, greatly surpassing storage limits on mobile phones without Flash memory card slots.

The microSDHC format is emerging as the predominant mobile memory standard as more handset manufacturers, including HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, RIM, and Samsung, embrace it with compatible mobile phones. Recent models tested with the new Kingston 8GB microSDHC card include the BlackBerry Pearl 8120; the LG evV2 (VX9100) and Voyager (VX10000); as well as the Samsung BlackJack II (i617) and Glyde (U940).

The new microSDHC 8GB card, Kingston part number #: (SDC4/8GB) has a suggested price of $58.00 (MSRP U.S.). Although the microSDHC format is identical in physical size to the original microSD card, microSDHC is compatible with microSDHC host devices only and not backward compatible with standard microSD-enabled devices or readers.
