SanDisk sent out a press release earlier today, announcing an 8GB
version of its SanDisk Extreme III SDHC card. Developed for high-performance digital cameras, the 8GB SanDisk Extreme III SDHC card has a
maximum read/write speed of 20 MB/s and can store more than 4,000 high-resolution pictures or up to 16 hours of MPEG 4
video.
More capacity and fast transfer
speeds are the chief benefits of the SanDisk Extreme III 8-gigabyte (GB)1 SDHC (SD High-Capacity) flash memory card, which was introduced
today by SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK). This and other imaging products from SanDisk will be displayed in Booth 1808 at PhotoPlus
2007 International Conference & Expo, which opens Thursday at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The 8GB SDHC card will be packaged with
a SanDisk MicroMate USB 2.0 Reader - a $20 value - so that users have a one-stop solution for capturing, storing and transferring their
images. The bundled card and reader are expected to ship within the next 30 days to U.S. retailers at a suggested price of $179.99. It
will also be available in Europe.
