SanDisk Announces 8 GB M2 Memory Stick Micro Card

Memory cards are getting smaller and larger all at the same time. The latest "small" memory card to be announced is the SanDisk 8 GB M2 card. Following the Memory Stick Micro standard (as compared to the microSDHC standard), this card is compatible with Sony and other devices that use M2 memory cards. At 8 GB, the cards store over 2,000 songs, or about 5,000 high resolution pictures.

The SanDisk 8GB M2 will be available in the fourth quarter of this year. Pricing has yet to be determined.

iPhone Hacked for Hebrew Support
