"Wow, it seems like we were just marveling over the introduction of the world's first 8GB SD card a few moons back. Ah, that's right, we were. Alas, Samsung took it to heart that SD doesn't cut it for your average cellphone (they run a bumpin' mobile business, after all), announcing that it has managed to pack a full eight gigabytes into the microSD form factor for mid-2008 production. That's particularly timely considering that 4GB examples haven't even gotten into widespread circulation yet -- "8GB" just has a nicer ring to it -- not to mention that the new card handily surpasses SDHC guidelines with 16MB/s reads and 6MB/s writes."
Did that read that right? Did they really say 8GBs? Do the current generation of Windows Mobile Standard devices even support the Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) format? If they do not, I hope Samsung releases an upgrade to the Blackjack that does when they release this card. :)
