March 28, 2007: SanDisk will expand its Memory Stick Micro line-up with the addition of a 4GB Memory Stick Micro Card later this year.

Designed for the latest generation of slim line, multimedia mobile phones, it can store up to 1,000 songs, 2,000 high-resolution photos or 20 hours of MPEG4 video. SanDisk’s Memory Stick Micro cards are designed for use with mobile handsets that have an M2 slot but can be backwards compatible with digital cameras and hand-held game players that have a Memory Stick slot via an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo adapter. M2 cards measure 15 x 12.5 x 1.2 mm, making them the second smallest flash memory media in the world, behind the microSD format, which SanDisk pioneered. The 4GB M2 card will ship to OEMs in May, and will be available in retail stores later in the year. Pricing is not yet determined.
