SanDisk Crams Even More Bits Into Tiny microSDHC Memory Cards

3:37AM Seamus Byrne | Good gawd, how much memory can they cram onto a tiny microSD card the size of a baby’s fingernail? Way more than the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, because SanDisk just announced 6GB and 8GB microSDHC cards touted to give you the same amount of storage as the most voluminous iPhone. How’s that for some me-too-ism? Also along the ride is a 4GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) card, which the company says will cost you $100, but wasn’t saying how much you’d have to spend for those 6GB and 8GB puppies. Before you decide to jump all over this, just make sure your device can handle the high-capacity (HC) cards. Expect to see all these jam-packed sticks making their debut later this year.

Sony Ericsson K818 Cyber-shot Phone Leaked by FCC

8:00AM Seamus Byrne | Everyone's favorite phone leaker, the FCC, has let slip a new Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phone, the K818. Remember the K810? The K818 is it's half brother, featuring a 3.2-megapixel camera on board with zoom, auto-focus, brightness control and the BestPic shooting mode that captures a range of nine pictures. With the K810 presumably just headed to Europe, this might just be an American version that drops the videophone connectivity to keep us from hurting ourselves, as this version is missing the prominent camera on the face of the K810. It supports Memory Stick Micro (M2), just in case you don't like using the industry-standard memory cards that many computers come with readers for, and it has USB for transferring data. It's also a music phone that can handle most formats as well as being loaded with an FM receiver. No word on release dates, but the FCC gave it their approval so it shouldn't be too far off. We'll keep you updated. Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the phone. More »
