SanDisk to launch 1GB microSD card

Reuben Lee | Mar 28, 2006

After unveiling the 512MB microSD card late last year, SanDisk has announced that it will be introducing a 1GB version for the region. According to its Singapore distributor, the 1GB card will retail for S$139 (US$91.45) in the island state from March 29, followed by other Asian countries over the next few weeks. The 1GB microSD is already out in the US.

Formerly known as TransFlash, the microSD card is about a quarter the size of the original Secure Digital (SD) media, and is currently one of the smallest flash memory cards in the market today. Measuring just 15 x 11 x 1mm, its minuscule dimensions make it ideal for use in portable devices such as mobile and smart phones. The microSD can be used in devices with an SD card slot, via an adapter. (Click here for a larger image.)
