2GB Memory Card for Mobile Phones

Kingston Technology says that it is producing larger capacity miniSD and MMCmobile Flash memory cards to support the growing storage demands of feature-rich mobile phones. The new mobile memory cards are immediately available in 2-GB capacities.

"As consumers become more knowledgeable on the variety of features and functions offered by new multifunction mobile handsets, the need for larger capacity Flash memory continues to increase to optimize the devices' storage capabilities," said Keyla Velazquez, mobile media product manager, Kingston(R). "Our research of the emerging global mobile market indicates a growing demand for higher capacities to allow users to store even more data, music, photos and video. For example, a 2-GB memory card can hold up to 1,100* photos, depending on a device's megapixel, resolution and compression," continued Velazquez.

In step with the need for greater storage as multifunction phones continue to be released, Kingston is offering 2-GB versions of both its MMCmobile and miniSD cards, with each carrying a suggested retail price of US$80."
