▪ Toshiba Readies 8GB SD Card
Toshiba plans to release in January an 8GB high-speed Secure Digital (SD) memory card, according to Martyn Williams, IDG News Service colleague reporting from Tokyo.
The card will support the "class 4" high-speed data writing specification of the SD Card Association and be able to record data at 6 megabits per second, say Toshiba representatives. That kind of speed plus the high capacity of the card makes it well suited to applications such as video recording using devices such as Panasonic's recently announced HDC-SD1 camcorder.
That camera records high-definition video to an SD card at 6Mbps. Toshiba's new card should be able to hold about three hours worth of such video.
The card will cost about $340 in Japan. Toshiba plans to begin selling it in early January there, in North America, and in Europe.
