Sandisk has announced their new 2GB MicroSD card - double the capacity of their former 1GB offering. While they are not the first 2GB MicroSD on the block, they are...err...the most Sandisk of current offerings. Look for them in Japan Oct. 25th. Sandisk's site acts like they might be available in the US as well (linking to local retailers).

I still don't have any devices that require MicroSD, so I've been saving money by purchasing larger formats. But I would probably sleep better at night if I started purchasing MicroSDs and using adapters - which is a lot more practical with 2GB available. – Mark Wilson

PQI 2GB SD Card [Meritline]

Unfortunately for most of the country, these 2GB cards are going to be sold exclusively at Verizon Wireless stores for the next 60 days. That means you're not going to be able to hop online and grab one from NewEgg or Amazon.

Available August 7th for $99.99. – Jason Chen

The cards carry an MSRP of $80, which isn't as cheap as the cards we found on Newegg from A-Data, SanDisk and Transcend, but they're not that much more.

So to refresh, there's miniSD, microSD, SD, and SDHC. Excuse us while we go cry into our pillows. – Jason Chen

Toshiba says their new 2GB miniSD cards can hold up to 35 hours of music, lots and lots of pictures even on megapixel cameraphones, and has a write speed of 5MB/s. That's pretty fast. Since lots of devices now sport miniSD, people are going to need a place to store all their Dido albums.

Available in June for $109.

This U3 take-it-with-you platform is available on a variety of drives from Verbatim, Sandisk, Memorex and others, and now is available in a 2GB size. The best part is, it leaves that host PC exactly as it found it. Seems like it's a lot easier to carry around a tiny drive with U3 on it than an entire laptop.
