Kingstons MicroSDHC Goes 4 GB

October 8, 2007: Memory manufacturer, Kingston Technology has announced a new 4 GB version of its MicroSDHC cards.

Kingston has announced an improved access speed, 4 GB capacity MicroSDHC line of portable storage cards. The 4 GB will be the base model, with higher capacities expected to follow, and it is hoped that the card will become the format of choice for several next generation mobile media devices created by Blackberry, HTC, LG, Motorola, and Nokia.

“As next-generation mobile phones promise cutting edge functionality in ever-smaller form factors, demands increase on hardware to deliver these features, particularly in the area of expansion memory where storage and read/write performance becomes greater,” said Vaughan Nankivell, regional manager, Australia/New Zealand, Kingston.

With ever increasing capacities and storage speeds, micro drives are proving to be a booming industry. Mobile devices rely on the storage cards to offer their constantly increasing range of features, whilst mobile storage options are being opened up thanks to constantly improving technology.

“Kingston is following the natural progression of mobile technology and we timed our microSDHC roll-out to be in step as the need materialises,” added Nankivell.
