Kingston Technology Launches 2-GB miniSD, MMCmobile Cards Anticipating Greater Smartphone Storage Demands
Larger Capacity Mobile Expansion Memory Ready for New Advanced Wireless Devices
Hsinchu, Taiwan – (June 16, 2006) -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced it is producing larger capacity miniSD and MMCmobile Flash memory cards to support the growing storage demands of feature-rich mobile phones. The new mobile memory cards are immediately available in 2-GB capacities.
"As consumers become more knowledgeable on the variety of features and functions offered by new multifunction mobile handsets, the need for larger capacity Flash memory continues to increase to optimize the devices’ storage capabilities," said Dave Lee, Flash Memory Product Manager, APAC Business Division, Kingston. "Our research of the emerging global mobile market indicates a growing demand for higher capacities to allow users to store even more data, music, photos and video. For example, a 2-GB memory card can hold up to 1,100* photos, depending on a device’s megapixel, resolution and compression," continued Lee.
In addition, many vertical markets utilize expansion memory in the deployment of unique business applications on mobile devices, such as order tracking and inventory management, and increased capacity memory cards can improve both functionality and efficiency in these specialized environments.
In step with the need for greater storage as multifunction phones continue to be released, Kingston is offering 2-GB† versions of both its MMCmobile and miniSD cards. The new miniSD and MMCmobile 2-GB cards have a lifetime warranty, free tech support and comply with the SDA and MMCA specification standards, respectively.
