IMAGINE storing 100 movies in glorious high-definition on a card the size of a postage stamp.
Then being able to call them up instantaneously for viewing on a cellphone whenever and wherever you like.
That could happen within five years, according to the SD Association, a trade group that brings together more than 1,100 technology companies from SanDisk to Hewlett-Packard and sets inter-operable memory card standards.
Consumers will be able to store as many as 100 high-definition movies on a stamp-sized memory card and retrieve them with devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras, according to the promoters of the next-generation SD card technology.
The first of a new series of "extended capacity" cards, dubbed "SDXC," will be available toward the end of this year en route to an eventual two terabytes of storage capacity in less than five years, James Taylor, president of the SD Association, said in Las Vegas. The SD group also includes such powerhouses as Panasonic, Toshiba, Nikon and Canon.
The SDXC specification, developed by the association, "leapfrogs memory card interface speeds" while retaining the popular SD interface, the association said.
The first cards are likely to provide 64 gigabytes of storage, twice the maximum of existing SDHC memory cards, Taylor said.
