New compact memory card format devices has been developed
New memory card format for portable devices called miCard (Multiple Interface Card) has been developed in Taiwan. The MultiMedia Card Association (MMCA) has approved the miCard standard for the next generation of removable storage cards. The card basically combines a memory spec with the existing USB 2.0. So you can take the card and plug it right into a USB port in your portable computer, for example. New card will transfer data at speeds up to 480 Mbit/s and initially offer capacities of 8 GB but reach 2,048 GB eventually. Because MiCard connects to USB it can transfer data at 480Mbps - really a rocket speed. Standard was developed by Taiwan??™s Industrial Technology Research Institute and is capable of scaling up to an astonishing 2,048GB of data on very small card (measures 12mm x 21mm x 1.95mm).
So far 12 Taiwanese manufacturers have signed up to the new standard and full engineering specifications will be announced by the end of June.
