Pretec Electronics Corp., the 1st in the world to offer a 4GB SD card (in July 2005), has released a 2GB miniSD, the largest capacity miniSD card today at IT Month 2005 in Taipei.

Mobile devices using the Pretec 2GB miniSD card can store more than 500 MP3 songs or more than 4000 digital photos.

The Pretec 2GB miniSD card also provides a tremendous advantage for the latest multimedia mobile phones designed with a miniSD slot, which typically require larger capacity when hours of recorded audio and/or video data (such as MPEG4 movies) are needed;

The new card can extend from 0.5-1 hour of high quality MPEG-4 playback/recording to 1-2 hours by doubling or even quadrupling the maximum capacity available for today's advanced high quality PDA/mobile phones.

The Pretec 2GB miniSD is available now with a retail price of $299, scheduled to hit stores around the world for Christmas season.

Pretec Electronics Corp. offers a complete spectrum of small form factor memory cards and card readers such as CF, MMC, SD, and USB Flash Drive for the digital imaging, mobile communication, and industrial control markets.

As the world's 2nd company to offer CF cards since 1995, Pretec has consistently demonstrated the highest capacity cards in the world, such as CF cards of 80MB, 128MB, 160MB, 320MB, 640MB, 1.5GB, 3GB, 6GB and 12GB at various locations around the world for the past seven years.
