Gadgets To Get ‘Embedded SD’ Storage: Yippee!
SD Card storage is very handy indeed but now the technology is about to get a whole lot more useful with the announcement of Embedded SD. The new Embedded SD standard from the SD Card Association (SDA) will put that technology inside all of our gadgets, up to 32GB. So, instead of digital cameras and camcorders with a measly few megabytes of storage onboard you’ll be able to get one with 32GB on the inside as well SD Card slots to add up to another 32GB on high capacity cards. The move is widely applauded, the standard will be published in November, although we have no date on just when Embedded SD is going to appear inside our next essential purchases. “The miniSD and microSD form factors are the leading interfaces for removable storage cards for mobile handsets, currently dominating the market, and are expected to constitute 90 percent of all card slots in mobile handsets in 2010, according to our analysis,” said Nam Hyung Kim, director and chief analyst for iSuppli Corp. “The new Embedded SD standard is built on that leading SD standard and takes aim at mobile handset storage needs like low power consumption, boot functionality, small form factor and integrated flash management.” Great news indeed, although it will be even better if manufacturers can apply it to their future products fast, so hurry the hell up!-Martin Lynch [SDA] storage gadget
