Kingston Technology Company has launched its8GB microSD High-Capacity (SDHC) and 16GB microSD High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash memory cards in the Indian market.
The new 8GB microSDHC cards provide greater storage options to the latest mobile phones and digital devices in the smallest footprint available.
Kingston 8GB microSDHC cards can store more than 1,500 digital songs, more than 4,000 images from a 5MP cameraphone or up to eight hours of video, exceeding storage limits on mobile phones without Flash memory card slots.
Scott Chen, vice president, APAC region, Kingston said, "Consumers are demanding more from their mobile phones, expecting them to perform as portable music or game players, digital cameras, e-mail communicators, browsers and navigators. Having enough storage capacity, particularly in the form of memory cards, keeps internal device memory free to deliver all this multi-functionality. Our 8GB and 16GB microSDHC cards are so roomy that mobile users can easily move entire digital libraries from a PC to their mobile phones - and beyond."
The microSDHC format is coming up as the predominant mobile memory standard as more handset manufacturers, including HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, RIM, and Samsung, clinching it with compatible mobile phones.
The new Kingston microSDHC 8GB and 16GB cards are available at a price tag of Rs 1,699 and Rs 4,499, respectively. Even though the microSDHC format is identical in physical size to the original microSD card, microSDHC is compatible with microSDHC host devices only and not backward compatible with standard microSD-enabled devices or readers.
In India, HCL Infosystems Ltd, Shreepati Computers, Compuage Infocom, Sunrise Info Solutions, Tech Pacific India Ltd, Transtek Infoways Pvt. Ltd and Neoteric Informatique distribute the Kingston products.
