Samsung Unveils 8GB MicroSD Card
In a press release yesterday, Samsung announced the development of an 8GB MicroSD card. These cards are commonly used in cell phones and cameras. Previously, the largest available capacity for a MicroSD card was only 2GB. This is quite the breakthrough! What can you store with 8GB?
[The 8GB MicroSD card is] capable of storing 2,000 MP3 music files, 4,000 digital photos, or approximately
5 DVD-quality movies.With a read speed of 16 Megabytes (MBs) per second and a write speed of 6MB/s, Samsung’s 8GB microSD card well exceeds the Speed Class 4 SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) standard which requires a data write speed of 4MB/s. This is also much faster than the SD Speed Class 2 designation carried by most competing microSD cards currently on the market.
WOW! I can’t wait for these to hit the market…..thanks Gizmodo for spotting this!

That’s insane! I bought a 256 MB card when they were the largest size available in this format. 8GB on a card you could hide under your tongue is absurd. I’m a geek of almost twenty years and still the pace of change here and diminutive size is astonishing to me.
