Toshiba has just made one huge step forward in data storage with the launch of the first 32 GB SDHC card. The performance is actually groundbreaking, if considering the possibilities that it manages to bring for mobile phone users.

The company has released several other high capacity cards, set for gradual releases, with the lowest ones to hit the market sooner. The 32 GB SDHC one is the most impressive one, though. It is, at this time, the world's biggest capacity SD card. The product also meets the Class 4 specification in the SD Speed Class, but has little chances of seeing a release until the end of the year.

Alongside the 32GB SDHC card, Toshiba also announced a 16GB SDHC card and an 8GB microSDHC card. They all manage to provide the functionality essential for evolved mobile phones and other personal digital products. Along with the development of more capable devices also comes the demand for higher memory support coming from them. Toshiba's new cards take this natural evolution in consideration and manage to provide the solution that users need.

Mobile phones bring, together with the reliable support for a large amount of data, a huge number of possibilities. The fact that many smartphones bring users the software needed to continue their work even when out of the office, while other media phones provide entertainment solutions, contributes to increasing the new demand for storing the personal files on the handset.

The expanded new card series will be presented at the IFA 2007, in Berlin, Germany from August 31st to September 5th. People will then have the chance of seeing for themselves the new possibilities that Toshiba's solution brings.

They will have to wait a little bit more in order to have the chance of actually owning such products. The 16GB SDHC card will be available worldwide from October, while and the 32GB SDHC card and 8GB microSDHC card will be launched worldwide in January next year.
