Sandisk launches 8GB SDHC card
MEMORY FIRM Sandisk has launched an eight-gigabyte SDHC flash memory card which gives digital camera users the capacity to store over 4,000 high-resolution pictures.
The Extreme III card, which can also hold up to 16 hours of MPEG 4 video2, has a read/write speed of 20 megabytes per second allowing for much faster downloads to a PC.
For video applications, the card has a speed rating of Class 6, the highest available SDA speed class – which translates into a minimum continuous data transfer rate of 6MB/second3.
Devices must be SDHC compatible in order to work with the new card.
The card, which is expected to retail at $180, will be shipped to US retailers within the coming month and comes bundled with a SanDisk MicroMat USB 2.0 card reader. It will also be available in Europe at a later stage. µ

8gigs in my WM phone! Sweet.
Mr Jobs? Fir Q and the i-phoney you rode in on.
Must be a slow news day, another article just re-wording some press release that ended up in the author's inbox. 

I think sometimes on slow news days you guys just troll your spam folders looking for something you can pass off as "news". :)

Hi I am confuse with SDHC. The fastest SD card is 150x or 22,5 MB/s. When SDHC come up, it has 2 speed 4 MB/s and 6 MB/s. Why does the speed is so slow?????. In this article you mention that the speed is 20 MB/s. How can SDHC have that hi speed?
Hok, the Class 6 classification refers to the MINIMUM speed that the device can perform at.
I've had an 8GB Transcend SDHC card for nearly 3 months now. it flies at 12-18MB/s, and it cost me 77eur
