Details are still quite sketchy, but according to
Digitimes,
Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and some local IT firms will soon mass produce a new type of memory card called “μcard”, which will be unveiled during the Taipei International Electronics Show (Taitronics) from October 8-12. Mass production for the new card will begin in early 2005.
The card will support
up to 2TB of storage capacity, be able to
transfer 120MB of data per second, 10 times faster than Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. Additional features for the new card include USB 2.0 compatibility, low power, fast I/O and a compatible interface with existing memory cards. Sounds too good to be true!
