While Sharp relied on a massively skinny TV to wow IFA 2007 audiences, Toshiba seem to be going to quiet route; they’ve launched a number of new memory products designed to eke the very best performance out of your laptop, digital camera or PMP. Fresh for your picking includes new 16GB and 32GB High-Density SDHC cards, an 8GB microSDHC card and new TransFlash-based USB memory in 1GB to 8GB capacities (with 32GB promised by the end of the year).
Not the most exhilarating of announcements, perhaps, but worthy all the same. The 32GB SDHC card is the world’s first high-density model, and all four new SDHC models meet the Class 4 SD speed classification meaning guaranteed 4MB/s sustained data writing. The 16GB model will be available worldwide from October, while we’ll have to wait until January to see the 32GB and 8GB microSDHC.
Meanwhile, Toshiba are claiming their TransFlash USB memory is ideal for Windows Vista ReadyBoost purposes, although they’re yet to reveal any data performance figures. Initially they’ll be available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB varieties from October, with a “Limited Edition” 32GB model landing in December.
Prices for all are yet to be announced.
