SanDisk on Monday announced that it would begin shipping the much-talked-about 32GB microSD card. The card would allow any compatible phone or mobile device with a microSD slot to carry 32GB of music, movies, and other media on one very tiny card.
“With the large volume of photos, videos, and music that consumers create and carry around, a high-capacity memory card is a must-have component of today’s smartphone,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, president and CEO of SanDisk, in a statement. “This is the highest-capacity card of its type, and SanDisk is pleased to be the first to ship such an advanced product.”
The new 32GB card carries a suggested retail price of $199.99, but most likely that price will fall as online retailers fight for the lowest price. Comparatively, customers can get a new SanDisk 16GB microSD card from a retailer on Amazon.com for less than $40. The card will be available for purchase soon on SanDisk.com for U.S. and European customers, with worldwide availability coming in April.
