Kingston adds microSDHC to catalogue

Business IT - Technology

Kingston Technology's first microSDHC card has a 4G capacity and is a Class 4 device, meaning the transfer rate is between 4 and 7Mbps.

MicroSDHC cards are used in recently released mobile phones and other handheld devices to provide greater capacity in less space.

"As next-generation mobile phones promise cutting edge functionality in ever-smaller form factors, demands increase on hardware to deliver these features, particularly in the area of expansion memory where storage and read/write performance becomes greater," said Vaughan Nankivell, Kingston's regional manager for Australia and New Zealand.

"Kingston is following the natural progression of mobile technology and we timed our microSDHC roll-out to be in step as the need materialises."

Kingston is selling the 4G microSDHC card alone or with a pair of mini and full-size SD adaptors to allow its use with devices that require the larger physical format. Regardless of size, SDHC cards only work with devices designed for that format, not those built around the original SD standard.

The recommended retail price for the card without the adaptors is $A112.
