SANDISK SHIPS WORLD’S FIRST PRODUCTION 1GB SD CARD

http://www.sandisk.com/corporate_press.html

SUNNYVALE, CA, January 27, 2004 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) this week is shipping the world’s first production one-gigabyte (GB) Secure Digital (SD) flash card, which contains a unique “stackable” packaging technology jointly implemented with Sharp Corporation of Japan. This new package employs a low-cost, high-yielding die-stacking process that is designed to enable SanDisk to double the memory capacity without increasing the size of the card, thus launching a new generation of competitively-priced, higher-density flash devices that can store unprecedented amounts of pictures, music and video.

A consortium of consumer electronics manufacturers next week will unveil a format for memory cards that will be smaller than Secure Digital (SD) cards, which are the size of postage stamps. The cards will connect to computers and other devices through a universal serial bus connector.

Not the foggiest...

I don't think so as I believe there are only one or two companies that produce the 4-bit transfrer cards, and San Disk is not one of them. However I could be wrong.

I just like the idea of being able to carry an entire DivX movie around on an SD-Card...
