Large Capacity Card Perfect for Content-Rich Smartphone Use

Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the shipping of its first 32GB microSDHC Class 4 card. The ultra-large 32GB microSDHC card is the perfect mobile storage solution for entertainment and business applications in smartphones that have integrated into everyday life.

“The need for additional portable storage has grown as the mobile phone has transitioned from a simple voice transmitting device to a powerful multifunctional tool used for emailing, listening to music, taking photos and watching movies,” explains Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, of Kingston APAC. “Mobile phones are more than just about staying in touch as we also use them to take pictures of our kids’ at sporting events, shoot videos on vacation and upload them on social media sites. An extra 32GB of expandable memory takes these capabilities even further.”

Kingston’s 32GB microSDHC card is capable of storing nearly 29,000 photos, over 6,000 songs and more than 2,000 minutes of video. The card has worked flawlessly when tested on the latest batch of smartphones including the HTC Evo 4G and Shadow; Motorola Droid X; RIM (BlackBerry) Bold 9000; and the Samsung Instinct (SPH-M800).

Mobility and versatility has also been taken a step further as the card is available with a variety of adapters including SD and miniSD, allowing one card to be used in several devices. Kingston also ships the 32GB microSDHC card with a small USB reader for convenient data transfers. The 32GB microSDHC Class 4 card is backed by a lifetime warranty, free tech support and legendary Kingston reliability. For more information visit www.kingston.com/asia.
