September 13, 2006: SanDisk has released details of a 4GB SanDisk miniSDHC card, which aims to meet the needs of next-generation camera phone users, who increasingly see their phone as their camera, video player, gaming and music devices.
Based on the SD Association 2.0 specification, the new card is a member of the SDHC family, which offers a minimum sustained write speed of 2MB/second. Because SDHC works differently from standard SD cards, this new format is not backwards compatible with legacy SD format host devices. The 4GB SanDisk miniSDHC card will provide the fast speed and large capacity required to support increasingly popular but storage-intensive applications such as digital imaging, music and video record/playback functions as well as mobile television and videogames. It can store more than 2,000 high-resolution pictures, more than 1,000 digital songs or up to 8 hours of MPEG 4 video. Retail release of the new card is planned for 2007.
