| Panasonic Launches Line-up of miniSD Memory Cards, World's Smallest Flash Memory Cards |
||
The Panasonic miniSDTM Card is a flash memory card designed especially for use in mobile phones, such as the Panasonic's X700 that will be released in Europe at the same time as the new memory cards.
With mobile phones now offering built-in high-resolution camera functions, content downloading capabilities, and compatibility with PC data, there is a growing awareness of the need for removable memory cards to enhance mobile device capabilities. Manufacturers of mobile phones have also expressed a need for smaller memory cards that support further product downsizing. The Panasonic miniSDTM Card has outstanding functions and performance in a tiny form factor that is only 40% of the volume of the standard SD Memory Card. Measuring just 21.5 mm in length by 20.0 mm in width by 1.4 mm in thickness and weighing about a gram, it is the world's smallest flash memory card. The smaller size is expected to allow for even more dramatic product miniaturization and will give manufacturers greater design flexibility. The 128MB Panasonic miniSDTM Card can store 880 still images3 or 2 hours and 50 minutes of music4 and its data transfer speed is up to 2 megabytes per second. This high transfer speed not only improves the potential usability of mobile phones, it also helps to enable smooth exchanges of data with PC-related devices and audio-video products such as digital TVs, DVD recorders and printers with the use of the miniSDTM adapter which enables compatibility with all devices now equipped with a standard SD Memory Card slot. Like the popular standard SD Memory Card, the new miniSDTM Card incorporates copyright protection technology. By preventing unauthorized copying, this function will allow content creators and owners to quickly make high-quality content available for new services with greater assurance about protection from piracy. Thanks to the application of Panasonic-developed power-saving technologies, the Panasonic miniSDTM Card is optimized for use in battery-operated mobile products. us.panasonic.com |
