If you have a fast new 4G phone the last thing you need is a microSD card that is slow and holds up your device when reading or writing data to and from the memory card.

We're used to high-capacity memory cards costing a lot, but €2,000 ($2,709) for a microSD? Secusmart's card doesn't just offer 4GB of storage, however; it's also a hardware encryption system for mobile devices, making sure your calls, SMS, email, contacts and calendar are all locked down.
