Toshiba adds new SD High Capacity (SDHC) cards and microSDHC card to memory card line-up
Esato News
Three new cards were announced, including the worlds first 32-gigabyte (GB) memory card in this high density. Alongside the 32GB SDHC card, Toshiba also announced a 16GB SDHC card and an 8GB microSDHC card. All the new cards meet the Class 4 specification in the SD Speed Class, ensuring they deliver the high level performance and functionality essential for advanced mobile phones and other personal digital products.The 16GB SDHC card will be available worldwide from October, and the 32GB SDHC card and 8GB microSDHC card will be launched worldwide in January next year.SDHC Memory Cards can be used with devices that support the SD Memory Card Ver. 2.00 standard. They are not backward compatible with standard SD Memory Cards. Toshiba say that they have only been able to produce standard SD cards up to a maximum size of 2GB. In order to meet high-capacity needs, the new SDHC-standard cards was presented. SDHC cards use the FAT32 file system and are high-capacity. The market for high density memory cards is growing fast, driven by increasing demand for personal digital equipment able to handle motion pictures and high resolution images. Demand for high density microSDHC cards is expected to emerge in the mobile phone market, as on-board cameras advance multi-megapixel capacities, and demand for music and motion pictures are expanding as well.
The expanded new card series will be featured at the IFA 2007, in Berlin, Germany from August 31 to September 5.

with things likemp3 players and obviously phones that claim to take memory cards up to a certain size will that just be because nothing bigger had been released?
i own a sandisk sansa mp3 player that takes micro sd's so im thinking it might be a player for life if the card sizes keep increasing?!

@djtwistter
What 2 months for a 16gb card isn't soon and 5 months for 32gb is also to long you really must be very impatient then.
@all,
I would imagine we will see a counter announcement from SanDisk very shortly as we know they have already had the 8gb cards out for testing and i cannot see them being caught unaware by Toshiba and the more competition in the market the better chance of prices falling. But this really is good new for some of us as more devices get released with SDHC compatibility a lack of storage on our devices is set to become a thing of the past. but i do think we are going to need to see new the new devices with more powerful processors to make the best use of these large capacity cards as otherwise searching for things may take to long.
