Toshiba Electronics Europe has reinforced its line-up of SD High Capacity (SDHC) cards with three new cards, including the world's first 32-gigabyte (GB) memory card in this high density. Alongside the 32GB SDHC card, Toshiba also announced a 16GB SDHC card and an 8GB microSDHC card. All the new cards meet the Class 4 specification in the SD Speed Class, ensuring they deliver the high level performance and functionality essential for advanced mobile phones and other personal digital products.

The 16GB SDHC card will be available worldwide from October, and the 32GB SDHC card and 8GB microSDHC card will be launched worldwide in January next year.

The market for high density memory cards is growing fast, driven by increasing demand for personal digital equipment able to handle motion pictures and high resolution images. A requirement for high density microSDHC cards is expected to emerge in the mobile phone market, as on-board cameras gain multi-megapixel capacities, and demand for music and motion pictures expands as well.

Toshiba will continue to expand and upgrade its SDHC and SD Memory card series to meet the growing need for high speed, high density products.

The expanded new card series will be featured at the IFA 2007, in Berlin, Germany from August 31 to September 5.
