SanDisk and Sony Announce SxS Flash Cards

SanDisk and Sony Announce SxS Flash Cards

SanDisk and Sony announced on Monday that they will develop a new media card standard together, known as SxS.  It will be designed for use in digital camcorders, such as Sony’s upcoming XDCAM EX series, and is expected to provide superior data transfer rates and smaller size than the previous generation of mass-storage cards.

SxS cards will take advantage of the ExpressCard slot on laptops to offer wide support for the new format right out of the gate. ExpressCard was introduced in 2004 to replace the aging PC Card form factor, sometimes known as the PCMCIA form factor. The slot now appears on most new laptops, including popular video-editing platforms such as Apple’s MacBook Pro.

Verizon Wireless today announced the immediate availability of new wireless services, dubbed BroadbandAccess and V CAST.

ED-VO is backward-compatible with CDMA, enabling graceful transitions when users leave EV-DO coverage areas.

The highest capacities for industrial CF cards, which are the more popular Type I form factors, are increased from 2GB to 4GB (industrial grade) and from 4GB to 8GB (standard grade). Likewise, the PC Cards, which are Type II form factors and are based on state-of-the-art 90nm (nanometer) NAND flash technology, will go from 4GB to 8GB for industrial grade and from 8GB to 16GB for standard grade. The cards are expected to be available starting in December. Pricing is being determined and will vary from region to region.
