SanDisk releases 32GB microSDHC card
If it weren’t 2010, this would sound like something out of a science fiction movie. “You’re basically talking about an entire jukebox on a flash memory chip the size of your pinkie fingernail.” That’s what SanDisk vice president Eric Bone had to say about his company’s newest microSDHC capacity: 32GB. That’s 7,000 songs. Ten hours of uncompressed HD video. That’s pretty damn incredible.
This is great news for people with a microSD slot on their favorite device. The new capacity was achieved by stacking 8 memory units of 4GB a piece on top of one another, all in a package that’s less than 1mm thick. For a more detailed explanation on what the microengineering process involves, head over to Gizmodo.
The new card will run you a cool $200. That’s a lot of money to spend on something smaller than a dime, so you better be careful with it. Word to the wise – don’t leave it in the open if you have an animal of any kind. I puppysat for a friend this weekend and that little guy ate everything. Watching a puppy drag around a boot that’s twice his size is funny. Digging through the puppy’s poop to find your new SD card is not.
