I tell you, I constantly am amazed how much memory continues to get packed into these dinky little pieces of media. Now the miniSD card from Pretec has a whopping 2GB in it. That’s a lot of pictures and ringtones on your super dope cell phone! The tremendous amount of memory isn’t going to cost a tremendous amount of cash, either. For $299, you can impress your friends when you show them your 2GB memory that is the size of your finger nail. Then impress them more when you tell them how much cash you plunked down at Fry’s for it. 🙂 Still, three bills for such a density of memory is pretty darn cheap. I can still remember paying that much for 32MB of RAM for my PC way back in the day.
Pretec happily announces on their web site:
Mobile devices using the Pretec 2GB miniSD card can store more than 500 MP3 songs or more than 4000 digital photos. The Pretec 2GB miniSD™ card also provides a tremendous advantage for the latest multimedia mobile phones designed with a miniSD™ slot, which typically require larger capacity when hours of recorded audio and/or video data (such as MPEG4 movie) are needed; the 1st in the world, Pretec 2GB miniSD™ card can extend from 0.5-1 hour of high quality MPEG-4 playback/recording to 1-2 hours by doubling or even quadrupling the maximum capacity available for today’s advanced high quality PDA/mobile phones.
