One thing that iPhone had and most other smartphones lacked was 16GB of storage. Well, now other smartphones can also have 16GB storage, if they support 16GB microSDHC or M2 memory card. SanDisk today announced 16GB microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro M2 mobile memory cards – the world’s largest removable storage capacity for mobile phones.
According to SanDisk, the fingernail-sized 16GB memory cards allow consumers to “wake up” the many storage-intensive features offered by today’s portable handset such as music and video playback, high-definition digital camera functions, gaming and GPS applications.
The 16GB microSDHC card will be priced $99.99 and the 16GB M2 card will cost $129.99. Both the cards will be available at Best Buy in October and Verizon Wireless stores in November – the only major retailers in the United States to carry this mobile storage capacity in 2008. Buy it in January 2009 and you will get it for half the price.
