Samsung to market largest memory cards

Samsung Electronics Co. said yesterday that it has developed the industry's first mobile phone memory card that can store up to 1 gigabyte of data, reports JoongAng Daily.

It said the new memory card can hold up to 500 high-quality digital photos, and provide six hours of high-definition video recording. Additionally, 250 music files downloaded from the Internet can be saved on the mobile phone. According to Samsung, the memory card, which is half the size of a typical multimedia memory card, transmits data at 52 megabytes per second, or 20 times faster than previous products.

Previously, the largest memory card for mobile phones was 512 megabytes, which is far smaller than the 4 gigabyte memory card used in MP3 players."
