With better cameras built into cellphones and the ever groing hunger for more and more features, SanDisk now offers the first miniSD card with ONE Gygabyte of memory.

The SanDisk miniSD card includes an adapter allowing it to be used in any of the existing SD card devices. The new 1GB SanDisk miniSD card is expected to be available at the suggested retail price of $99.99 in Q2 2005.
However here is the official statement:
"The 1GB miniSD card provides a level of storage that significantly enhances the features and usability of these full-featured mobile phones," said Nelson Chan, executive vice president and general manager of SanDisk’s consumer and handset business. "For example, with a 1GB card you can store approximately 16 hours of MP3 songs, record up to several hours of MPEG-4 video or take more than 2000 digital photos on a 1-megapixel mobile phone. With that level of capability, consolidating music, video, digital camera and other key features into the mobile phone platform is much more meaningful and powerful."

SanDisk also announced was the 512MB SanDisk TransFlash, one of the smallest flash memory storage cards designed primarily for the mobile phone market.
