Kingston Introduces SDHC 4GB Card

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Sept. 26, 2006 – Kingston Technology Company, Inc. today announced it will begin producing the new Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Class 2 card and enhance the function of its existing 15-in-1 Reader to support the growing storage demands of high performance digital still cameras, digital video cameras and other high resolution image recording devices. The new SDHC memory cards are available now in 4GB capacities with a retail price of .00 USD through Kingston’s global network of resellers.

The SDHC memory card is a new standard set by the SD Card Association that redefines performance classifications and capacity. Based on this standard, SDHC cards can deliver capacities beyond the 2GB threshold of present day SD cards and offer three speed classes (Class 2, 4, & 6) that guarantee minimum sustained transfer rates to support large digital video recordings for optimum performance. Kingston will add SDHC compatibility for its popular 15-in-1 Reader at the time of this launch. The retail price for the reader will remain .00.
