- ilskootli, on 05/13/2009, -7/+56MP3 players with 32GB capacity?! Oh boy! Is this the future?
- AdamKernes, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3432 GB ipod touch has dual 16 GB chips. so if apple used these in an ipod touch, we would be looking at a sweet 64 GB.
- makkaveli19, on 05/13/2009, -1/+28Women will never be able to vote. That's just feminist propaganda.
- zer0mass, on 05/13/2009, -1/+20Your all missing what they are talking about. MicroSD cards can only be found in 16GB's right now. Most cell phones that take SD memory cards are in the microSD package. This is good for a T-Mobile G1 owner like myself who uses the G1 as an MP3 player.
- Sliver85, on 05/13/2009, -2/+16Your Zune has a hard drive with moving parts. I wouldn't go running with it.
A player with solid state or flash memory has no problems with vibration shocks. - kentifer, on 05/13/2009, -2/+1632gb MicroSD?
Yeah? - yocouchdigga, on 05/13/2009, -0/+11cows, you're a ***** idiot.
better? - dvsbastard, on 05/13/2009, -4/+15Jeez people... It's a single removable memory card, not a mini HDD and not a device specific SSD...
What happened to you Digg? - Khast, on 05/13/2009, -0/+9Tell you what....you go dress up as a scientist and work in a laboratory with the sole purpose of developing 512GB NAND chips...I'll sit here and be happy with what I have now.
.....well....whadda'ya waiting for, get going, I am anxiously waiting for your vast improvements to our current technology.
Oh, that's right, you are an armchair complainer....never mind. I thought you actually had a solution by the BS you were throwing. - jcc6655, on 05/13/2009, -1/+9You can't be serious, what do you mean who needs it.
I remember being told that when I got my first drive over 1 gig.
My music collection alone is now over 60 gigs(which is small compared to some) & it sits nice & cozy on my 1 terabyte server which will be upgraded to 8 later this year. - a007proxy, on 05/13/2009, -1/+9Are they mad!? What's next? 64GB!?
- Khast, on 05/13/2009, -1/+8I dare you to drop your laptop, while it is playing MP3s, or booting...see what happens.
....jostling a hard drive at the wrong moment, means the head comes into contact with the platter. (AKA Head Crash)
Visualize this, a jet plane is flying inches above the ground going mach3....what happens if the plane hits the ground (platter) or a small rock (dust)? That is what just happened to the head on your drive. :P - TeenReader, on 05/13/2009, -0/+7i dont think you follow the size difference of the two
- yocouchdigga, on 05/13/2009, -1/+7hell yeah.
- Khast, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6Are you some kind of drooling moron? This wasn't even about the iPhone. This article was about NAND Flash RAM....you know, the removable kind for cameras and MP3 players.
- yocouchdigga, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6wow, who let all the stupids in? RTFA.
I'll be grabbing a few of these for the G1. - protonone, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6Let me know how much these will cost, and then maybe I'll be excited.
- Khast, on 05/13/2009, -0/+5@doshindude & mason092
The reason you haven't had any problems, is because the Zune parks the heads when they aren't in use. The Zune has a small amount of RAM which it pre-reads the media into every couple minutes or so. (Movies would be nearly constant access, due to the compression.) - venom8599, on 05/13/2009, -2/+7Well, people stopped reading the stories before commenting, so the fact that this was about a removable card and not built-in flash should've been made more clear in the title or description.
- roxgod666, on 05/13/2009, -0/+5I saw maybe two people who actually know what's going on.
- yocouchdigga, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4the stupids are stealing digg's collective INT.
- xenuxenuts, on 05/13/2009, -0/+432GB still holds an awful lot. With mpeg 4 encoding, you could even get 32 movies (or more) on it.
- AdamKernes, on 05/13/2009, -6/+10***** your zune
- mixsense, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory
- cowsgonemadd3, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4Who reads the articles anyways haha?
- adml_shake, on 05/13/2009, -3/+7Even though I'd never have a reason to come even close to filling that up (in my cell)....I must have it.
- mason092, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4How original and creative!
- Canadian0207, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4touche
+1 - jkoke, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3Data expands to the capacities that we supply to it. Movies and images get higher resolution, music and videos get higher bitrates, operating systems and office suites bloat and swell with bits. We will always need more storage, and we will always want to make it as compact as possible.
- ilgaz, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3People having 32GB cards started to live side effects of using archaic FAT32 on them.
- Puppetfunk, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3I'm pretty sure they finally figured out how to vote back in the 20s, and then they got all uppity and started burning their bras and *****. Should have kept voting a better secret.
- MountainManMark, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3I remember when a 30gb hdd for your pc was big.
- MarkOfTheDead, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3I'll be achieving this on my psp for roughly $110 in a day or two and I will have the necessary parts to pull this off using 2 16gb microsd's and a photofast dual sdhc-to-memory stick adapter all purchasable from amazon, found a guide on a forum. Much cheaper than purchasing a new mp3/video player (my old beat up iriver ihp-120 just died after 6 wonderful years) and great battery life!
- ampdj89, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3Then I should see no problem with a 64GB+ iPhone and iPod Touch.
- klaser, on 05/13/2009, -5/+8This is news? Hynix has had 32gb flash ICs for more than year.
- BDJC, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3One of my first PC's had a HUGE 40mb HDD. Good times...
- Jpatano, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3dugg for getting old like me. I remember being excited over a 20mb HDD on a system my parents bought when i was in HS.
- Rockyn, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2hahaha, I lol'd.
- ilgaz, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2I missed something. It is not "people" who chooses FAT32, it is idiotic manufacturers who choose to stick with that outdated junk which isn't even recommended by MS anymore.
In fact, do I remember right? MS will tell you to choose NTFS if you try to format a 32GB hard disk.
NTFS has a impossible to turn off journal as far as I know and it can't even be moved around, OK, so it makes it impossible for flash memory. What about ext2? ext3? even UFS?
I am not exactly sure but one can implement HFS+ (non journaled) and Apple would have nothing to say about it. It is open format, no hacks needed. Used every day on hundreds of millions of ipods/iphones. - Sliver85, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3This is not a removable card...
"the highest-density EMBEDDED memory card"
It says nothing about it being microSD and/or removable. - rheaume, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2Im sure Apple will still have a problem with a 32 or 64 gig Iphone
- cowsgonemadd3, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3My uncle said that about our new computer we got many years ago that had a HUGE 18 gb hard drive in it. We filled it up and now our computer has 640gb's of storage and we can even fill it up if we wanted to.
- schwab002, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2How come the article doesn't mention SD or micro SD cards? They are talking about a 32$ micro SD card, right?
- CedEx, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2Now we're waiting on batteries that can get us through 32GB worth of music on one charge.
- Jpatano, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2yeah, my phone decided to erase my entire 8GB SDHC a month ago. didn't even bother to ask me first. Not sure if it was a fault in the card or the phone, but the card still works after reformatting... either way, i wish the cards were a little more stable. not to mention the size limitations for files on FAT32... not a huge deal though as long as you're not trying to put huge movies on your phone.
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -2/+3http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Sub ...
this size has been around for ages on SDHC. Can we get to the program? - LostSoul83, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1I purchased a Cowon D2 a year ago (16 GB). I then added a 16 gig SDHC card to it to make 32 gigs of flash. When the time is right, I will purchase a 32 gig card to bring it up to 48 gigs.
- Peepsalot, on 05/25/2009, -0/+1Not until they revise the spec. SDHC cards can only go up to 32GB. We might be stuck at 32GB for a little while.
http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ - Nephersir7, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1in early 2005 256mb Transflash cards appeared, selling for aboput $50
in mid 2005, 512mb MicroSD cards appeared selling for about $70
in early 2006, 1gb MicroSD appeared, selling for over $100
in mid 2006, 2gb MicroSD cards appeared, selling for over $100
in early 2007 4gb MicroSDHC cards appeared, selling for over $100
in late 2007 8gb MicroSDHC cards appeared, selling for over $100
in mid 2008 16gb MicroSDHC cards appeared, selling for over $100
in mid 2009 32gb MicroSDHC cards appear, will probably sell for aroud $100
..
So following that pattern, we can conclude 2 things:
1. Being an early adopter is expensive
2. We should get affordable 2TB microSDXC cards by the end of 2013 -
