Sandisk is developing a 128GB MicroSDtobe released in 2011. It's an awesome idea but in 2011, I don't think this is "that huge" anymore. If 128gb MicroSD can be done in 2011, A flash memory prolly be go as high as 500GB to 1TB. Give it to us now and this thing will be mind bending. LOL

SanDisk developing 128 GB storage card for the mobilesBangalore, dhns: SanDisk Corporation, the inventor of flash storage cards, is a vertically integrated manufacturer starting from research, manufacturing and product design to consumer branding and retail distribution.Imagine the day when the mobile phone in your hand will become a virtual storehouse for videos, pictures, music and data. Days are not far when mobile phones will have expandable storage card with 128 GB (giga bites) capacity that will be able to hold 134 full-length Indian movies, close to 20,000 high resolution photos and 16,000 songs, or the same in any other combinations. SanDisk, one of global leaders in flash storage cards is developing a 128 GB microSD card for mobiles that will be ready by 2011. At present, the highest capacity in a microSD card is 8 GB.
Talking to Deccan Herald, Chief Operating Officer and one of the founders of US-based SanDisk Sanjay Mehrotra said “The tiny thumb-nail-size micro card will have storage capacity equal to today’s PCs. That is the power of digital flash memory which is faster, smaller and needs less power to operate.” On Thursday, Mr Mehrotra was in Bangalore which is the home for SanDisk’s India device design centre working on designing of flash memory chips and its controllers.

I like how Malatesta from WMExperts sums it up in his article:http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/12...omingin_2.html

Sandisk said that they are working and planning on launching a whopping 128GB version but not for another 3 years.

Which begs all sorts of questions like:

* Will microSD actually be relevant in 2011?
* What the heck will the mobile industry even look like in 2011?
* Why tease us so?

Well hey, best of luck to you Sandisk. If I'm still alive in 3 years, I look forward to porting my giant collection of NSFW materials to my WM8 device.s

Sounds too good to be true... Ahead of it's time, but 32 and 64GB cards haven't been out yet, but I hope this is worth the 3 year anticipation. If this actually happens, I'll fill it up with (as Bill Hicks said) Ad-ult Features galore.

I have 2 16GB cards that have already been filled to capacity, and I'm not yet satisfied. I want more... MORE!

Those things alone are pretty expensive, but once their price drops, I'll consider.
