4GB Cell Phone Memory Card
You read that right. SanDisk is boasting a new miniSD flash memory card [Cellular-News] that can hold 4 gigabytes of data. That's about 1000 song files or 8 hours of video content. If you've never seen a miniSD they aren't much bigger than the average thumbnail. The cards will be available in 2007 and are targeted at mobile devices that are SDHC-compliant, especially smart cell phones or PDAs that have cameras, video, music, and gaming.
To think, I actually remember writing a computer program using bubble cards pencilled in, during summer high school in California, where the teacher couldn't run my card deck because I went over the 60-card limit, or some such. Imagine the leap in technology in three decades. But you probably can't use this card with neither the Kyocera CDMA payphone nor the Vertu Ascent Motorsport cell phone.
