High Capacity miniSD Card to Be Marketed Worldwide to Meet Growing Demand for Music and Photo Storage in Mobile Devices

IRVINE, Calif., and TOKYO, May 24 / -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., (TAEC)* and its parent, Toshiba Corporation, today announced an expanded line-up of large capacity miniSD Memory Cards with the introduction of a 2-gigabyte (GB)(1) capacity card. The miniSD Card is much smaller than a standard SD Memory Card but delivers increasingly large capacity. Its primary application is in mobile devices with miniSD slots, but it can also be used in standard SD slots with an adapter.

"As mobile phones increasingly offer high-resolution cameras and support for digital music, demand is growing for a small, versatile, high capacity storage device for images and music. For the growing percentage of cell phones equipped with a miniSD Card slot, Toshiba's new 2GB card addresses these requirements," said Brian Kumagai, business development manager, NAND Flash, for TAEC.

With the addition of the new 2GB miniSD Card, Toshiba will expand a product line-up that already extends up to 1GB.
