12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

So I see articles which say the 12 GB MicroSD card should be available March 10th. Well obviously its May 27th and I still can't find it anywhere. Does anybody have factual information on when we'll see a 12-16 GB MicroSD card? All I hear is sometime this summer.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

what are they up to now??? how much (the max) can the apache take?

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

so why would we need a sd card with that much data anyway? what are you putting on there? i used to want to get a 4 gig sd card, but ive had this touch since it came out and im barely halfway full with the 1 gig card i got.. an i store EVERYTHING.. so my q is why would you need 12-16 gigs for!?!

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

i actually found a 32gig microsd card

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

some people, like myself use there ppc's for things other than email and text. I personally use my touch as a mp3 player when I am at the gym. I have 100s of gigs of music so a 16gig card would be sweet for me. I could fill that up in a half hr

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I want to keep my music, movies, TV shows, and some pictures on there. I could probably fill up a 40 GB card.

Yea, but it doesn't exist. 32 GB is said to be the max for a micro SD card. They still haven't come out with a 12 or 16 GB one yet though.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

your wrong cause my buddy has one i find out where he got his from

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Your sure it Micro SD? I think they have standard SD, but not MicroSD.. let me know though.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

he got it from tigerdirect.com and yeah it is a 32gb micro

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Below is a list of tigerdirect's micro SD cards. The highest they have is an 8 GB.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Eventually I want to use my touch as an mp3 player. I have 10gb of mp3's (yes, I rightfully own each cd!) and I want a very large sd card for the touch, so I don't have to worry about picking and choosing which mp3s to carry with me. I'll just sync the entire music directory to the card.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

i want a 100 tyrabyte micro sd transflash card and i want to run my laptop os (vista) on it. i think that will be large enough for me

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I saw one of those at a swap-meet over the weekend. The guy wouldn't come down on price, though, so I p*****.

:mrgreen:

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

it's also for people who like to view large movie files, cause i have plenty. i got all of my micro SDHC cards from amazon.com plus the mobilemate card readers for dirt cheap. plus they pay for themselves in the long run as well. :mrgreen:. and who would wanna pay $100 for a 4GB MSDHC out the sprint store? (your sig says it all, so that's why i go to amazon... not just about fundamental use of resources, but common sense as well.)

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I have 4, 6, and 8GB MSDHC cards, so i have no problem putting all of my media files in each of them. that's the beauty of owning more than one...

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I guess that's a good way of looking at it.

In my case, I didn't chase the curve with 4gb and 8gb cards, so I am willing to wait a bit longer for the next jump.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

How do you sync your music in 1/2 hour, I have a 4 gb micro and to fill it is almost 2 hrs.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

If I were to guess, it may have something to do with file size / bit rate. Low bit rate = lots of small files, where high bit rate = fewer files that are larger in size. What I don't know (for sure), is which method is going to be faster for a sdhc card. I would suspect that because Sustained Transfer Rate is lower for sdhc, that fewer larger files would fill up the card at a much slower pace.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

it has nothing to do with the bitrate, number of files really won't matter that much (although maybe a little).... the phone transfers very slowly, try using an actual card reader and plugging into usb, or getting a mass storage program which makes your phone act like a microsd card reader instead of going through activesync (the cause of the slowdown)....

also, different cards have different speeds, some microsd cards are faster than others....

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

how do they cram so much memory into such a tiny chip??

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

i place the roms on my 8 gb transflash, music, videos, setup programs for my mogul, pictures, and 8gb is not enough, i want something like 500gb or more. I go by the old adage that you can never ever under anycircumstances have enough storage capacity. I also extend this to system ram as well. I have a laptop with 4gb and i want more i want 8gb or 16gb since my system resources is at 52% so i can get that down to 27% with 8gb and with 16gb it would be 13.5% and if i had 32gb it would be 6.75 and with 64gb it would be 3.35% and with 128gb it would be 1.68% and with 256gb it would be .84% so you can see why i want tons and tons of ram and storage. to me ram and storage are like a womens chest they can never be big enough, the bigger the better.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

here's your answer... whoever said "Big things come in small packages" wasn't kidding.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

if you have a laptop, a 1TB external harddrive is just about good enough. they're available somewhere, but if you wanna satisfy your hunger for more capacity, feel free to go nuts and buy more than one.

also, there's bigger micro sdhc cards on the way, but we just have to look out for them. lol

and i like that punchline in the end BTW...

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I would love to hook up a portable western digital passport drive to it via the sd card of the mini usb port put is there a program that will do that?

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I would say some people need or want to store pictures, music, and maps on their phone. And there is even movies to consider!

To name a few...

PS: "Normal" data takes very little space.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Ya, times are changing ... that's for sure. A guy waiting for a ride the other day was watching either a movie or tv show on some phone ... I didn't want to intrude so I left him to enjoy his phone ... ppc ... media center ?

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

All this talk about the microSD use brings up a question that I have...
I've got about 35GB of music on an iPod that I sync to my PC via iTunes. I used to use AnaPod but iTunes is a better fit for iPods (although not as flexable imo).
Can, and if yes, how, can I put some of these songs on my Mogul phone? Most of the iTunes stuff is now acc I think. I currently have about 100 songs on my SD card that I had on my computer before the iPod. These are in MP3 format.
TIA,
tsp

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

maybe not, but there's an alternative solution... imma get me 2 alienware laptops fully equipped with a total of 3TBs of storage between them. that's tons of storage and then some, so imma be good for a long time after i get these.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

hey,
higher capcaity cards may be available in SDHC cards, are your mobiles are not compatible with those?

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

If you really need that much capacity, take a look at Seagate's D.A.V.E (
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/pro...ctronics/DAVE/). Connect your PDA through Bluetooth/WiFi and instantly have access to 60GB of data.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

yessir, they are... more power to the powerhungry.:headbang:

good find BTW...

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but only reason I'm bumping this thread is with the HTC Touch Pro scheduled to be released sometime in October and my wanting to increase the amount of storage on my phone when I buy it, I found this website that is doing a pre-order and says that the 16gb is scheduled to be available in October (perfect timing for the Sprint Touch Pro release).

Anybody have any newer updates than this?

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

heres wut i found.. but damn they r so pricey.. think i'll just buy (32) 1gb cards instead..lmao

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

For those of you that are interested, it looks like the 16gb microSD cards are going to start popping up for pre-order fairly soon.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Doing a quick conversion (GBP British pounds to $)
38.29 GBP = 67.3564 USD

I hope this is true! For the first time in a long time, my memory upgrade will be under $100

(1 Gb CF (~$240), 8 GB CF MD(~$165), 1 GB SD ($100), 4 GB SD ($87?), 8 GB Micro SDHC ($110))

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I noticed the moby website says you can buy it with or without VAT. What is that? Does anybody know?

Only thing I could think is maybe it's an adaptor?

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

I think VAT = Value Added Tax

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxatio...European_Union

I added it to my cart, but could not find the USA in the drop down menu for selecting country.

:-((

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

LOL...We're in the same boat. I tried it also, but no US available. Well, I might email them to find out if we can do pre-order in US. I did a quick exchange comparison and it's around $77. I don't know how much shipping would be though. I'm assuming it'd drive the cost above $100, since it's overseas...then again, maybe not for people on the East coast.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Hey,
If this is the way to go I could help, being a Brit in the US I have plenty of friends back home that could get cards for me and then ship them over.
I am thinking about it myself so let me know if a multiple order is the way forward.

Re: 12 - 16 GB MicroSD cards.. When?
 

Alex, if you could set that up, that would be awesome! Shipping a bulk amount of these microSD's would be much less for everybody than doing individual orders.

What's PPCGeeks policy on "Group Buys"? You sure you're willing to organize that? If so, I'll most likely be in. I'm sure there are a lot of people on these message boards that would be interested as well.
