SanDisk Corporation, the leader in flash memory, has unveiled its 8GB microSDHC and M2 flash memory cards.

Compatible with the new breed of mobile phones with card slots, the 8GB SanDisk microSDHC and M2 cards are ideal for the growing number of consumers who make their mobile phone - with its built-in music player, digital camera and video player/recorder - the centerpiece of their digital lifestyle.

SanDisk's ongoing 'slot education' programme is aimed at raising awareness both of the presence of a card slot in the majority of today's new mobile handsets and the benefits available to those who use it.

With a high capacity memory card in this slot, consumers can 'Wake Up Their Phone' and turn their handset into the ultimate lifestyle accessory, including the ability to store more than 2,000 digital songs, or more than 5,000 high-resolution pictures, or up to five  hours of high-quality MPEG 4 video.

Once digital content is stored on a high capacity SanDisk card, consumers can share their world with others, through simple uploading of content onto social networking sites such You Tube, MySpace and Facebook  - allowing friends and acquaintances to share the experiences they have captured on the card. Content can be transferred through the mobile phone or through synching the card up with a PC.

In addition to the microSDHC and M2 card, SanDisk also offers a broad range of both embedded and removable storage solutions for mobile handset manufacturers and mobile network operators.

These include iNAND and mDOC embedded flash drives; microSD, miniSD removable flash cards; and SIM and MegaSIM cards.

SanDisk's 8GB microSDHC an M2 cards are now available in major retail outlets worldwide with suggested retail prices of $139.99 and $149.99 respectively. - TradeArabia News Service
