Kingston Debuts 8GB microSDHC Memory Card

The world’s largest independent manufacturer of memory products, Kingston has debuted a 8GB microSDHC memory card (product name: SDC4/8GB), aiming to offer greater storage options to the latest mobile devices for maximizing device performance.

“Consumers are demanding more from their mobile phones, expecting them to double as music and portable game players, instant cameras, email communicators, browsers and navigators. Having enough storage capacity, particularly in the form of memory cards, keeps internal device memory free to deliver all this multi-functionality,” said Wendy Lecot, Flash card business manager, Kingston. “Our 8GB microSDHC cards are so roomy that mobile users can easily move entire digital libraries from a PC to their mobile phones – and beyond.”

Features/Benefits Of microSDHC Cards:
