SanDisk WORM Write-Once SD Cards Can't Be Altered, Last 100 Years

SanDisk has created the first write-once SD memory card after over a year of talking about it. The WORM (Write Once Read Many) cards cannot be altered or deleted and are designed for information that must be kept intact, such as electronic voting records and police work. They are only 128MB for now, but bigger sizes will likely show by the end of the year. SanDisk claims that the stored information will last 100 years, so if McCain is elected president, you'll have something to send your great grandchildren in Iraq. Pricing available upon request—yikes!—press release down below. More »

USB Memory Card Reader With Compact Mirror. Verdict: Wacky!

So, sometimes you need to check to see if your lipstick is okay, and sometimes you need to download data from a memory card. To do both of those you need a device to help you out. But why would you combine both devices into one gizmo? I suppose it could save space in your purse if you're a really habitual memory-card and mirror user. Anyway, this product reads a broad range of cards, except for Compact Flash, is just 2.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 inches, has built-in USB plug and you can always stash spare cards inside. Yours in gray or blue for $15. [Gadget4All]

Dealzmodo: Free 4 GB Kingston Elite Pro Compact Flash Card

Adorama's got a 4GB Kingston Elite Pro CF card for $40, but with the $40 rebate, the total price is $0. Rebate deals sorta suck, but only if you're forgetful, and we're talking about free here. There's only a day left, so hurry! [Adorama via Photography Bay]

SanDisk Crams Even More Bits Into Tiny microSDHC Memory Cards

Good gawd, how much memory can they cram onto a tiny microSD card the size of a baby's fingernail? Way more than the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, because SanDisk just announced 6GB and 8GB microSDHC cards touted to give you the same amount of storage as the most voluminous iPhone. How's that for some me-too-ism? More »

SanDisks' "New Digital Film" Will Replace Flash Memory Cards and Archive Pics for 100 Years

The same guys that are currently pushing dozens of memory card formats down our throats are now telling us they have invented the "new digital film." It'll be a read-only write-once memory card capable of archiving your pics for 100 years. SanDisk is keeping hush about the project, only saying that it'll rely on "3D memory" and it'll come out mid 2007. I'm not sold on the new format though. Here's why... More »

Panasonic Intros AG-HSC1U 3-CCD 'Pro' Camcorder Using SDHC Memory Cards

Panasonic unveiled its AG-HSC1U camcorder, a 3-CCD high-definition shooter that the company is billing as the world's smallest 3-chip professional HD camera. Its specs are nearly the same as its brandmate that uses those 4GB (88-minute) SDHC cards, the HDC-SD1, but it adds a 40GB hard drive on which to store their footage. The camcorder's also equipped with a slightly faster Leica lens, an f/1.6 as opposed to the f/1.8 of that more consumer-oriented HDC-SD1. More »

Toshiba 8GB SDHC Memory Card: More Bits, Less Compatibility

Until now we've heard idle talk of 8GB SD memory cards coming by the end of this year, and now Toshiba has actually announced one. The bad news is this SD-HC008GT4 card, like all SDHC cards, isn't compatible with existing devices that use those old-fashioned SD memory cards. That's right, if you want to dance all those angels on the head of this pin, you'll have to spring for a shiny new device that supports the SDHC (that HC stands for "high capacity") standard. More »

Lexar Shows All Kinds of Memory Stuff at CES

Now that we can finally store more than some crappy pictures on our cellphones and PDAs, it makes sense that we get more digital media made specially for these products. Lexar's new line of SD and MMC form factors are being shown off at CES and though not the sexiest of stuff, it can certainly be of some help with your computer files, games, music, video and images. SD cards include built-in security applications for storing and playing secure content and come in capacities from 256MB to 2GB, MiniSD cards are half the size of conventional SD cards and include an adaptor for use in all SD products (in capacities from 256MB to 1GB), and MicroSD cards are perfect for the mobile phone and also include an adaptor so they can be used in all SD products (in capacities from 256MB to 512MB). Then you've got MMCmobile MMCplus universal cards at that also include an adaptor for use in all SD or MultiMediaCard products (in capacities from 256MB to 512MB) and finally the MMCmicro, which offer the same high-performance as the MMCplus universal cards at a quarter of the size (in capacities from 256 MB to 512 MB).
