SanDisk Corporation has expanded its Memory Stick MicroT (M2) line by releasing a 4-gigabyte card.
The 4GB M2 can hold 1 000 songs, 2 000 high-resolution photos or 20 hours of MPEG4 video2, and is compatible with Sony Ericsson's latest multimedia mobile handsets such as the Cyber-shotT and WalkmanR series.
Norm Frentz, director of marketing for SanDisk's mobile consumer solutions division, says the M2 format was co-developed by SanDisk and Sony Corporation to meet the growing storage needs of highly compact, multimedia mobile phones.
M2 measures 0.59" long x 0.49" wide x 0.05" high, or 15mm x 12.5mm x 1.2mm.
The SanDisk M2 card line is designed for use with mobile handsets that have an M2 slot. By using an optional Memory Stick PRO DuoT adapter, M2 cards are fully backwards compatible with all digital cameras and hand-held game players that have a memory stick slot. He says this is the threshold at which mobile phones provide enough capacity to become the user's all-in-one portable music player, camcorder, photo album and video player.
The 4GB M2 card will ship to OEMs in May, and will be available later in the year. Pricing is not yet determined.
