Kingston announced that it is shipping a 32GB Elite Pro SDHC Flash memory card. The new 32GB card is the largest capacity in Kingston’s line of SDHC cards, which currently includes 4-, 8- and 16GB capacities.

“With the growing popularity of digital video and the HD format, consumers continue to look for ways to extend recording times and maintain fast data transfer rates (DTR) to maximize the performance of their recording device,” said Wendy Lecot, Flash business manager, at Kingston. “Our new 32GB Elite Pro SDHC memory card is optimized to meet the demands of high capacity and fast write speeds to help consumers share their lives through the use of video, photography and other creative devices. With the addition of the 32GB capacity card, Kingston is at the forefront of offering a versatile line of SDHC solutions to solve a variety of needs in today’s digital imaging world.”

32GB is a crap load of MP3s, photos or video to go on these little cards, with about 6,000 still images (with a 10MP camera) and over eight hours of video (for 6Mbps HD extended recording)

Kingston puts the MSRP at $308.00, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty.

I think you are all missing the point (see: awesome potential). Look to the not too distant future with me here. A $600 laptop could easily have the following specs within the next decade (prob much sooner though):

8 core cpu/gpu running at 2.6 GHz on each core (4 cpu cores, 4 gpu cores)

128GB Hard Drive/RAM combo via an SDHC card emedded onto the motherboard

mobo has onboard cpu/gpu/ram/storage(hdd)/audio/usb/esata/hdmi out/etc

9" to 15" oled screen

total weight - 1/8 of macbook air at heaviest

And if you don't think this is possible you must not be a regular MaximumPC reader or someone who follows tech trends at all. Very realistic. Look where we were 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Aha, see?

Would it be possible to reformat the card to NTFS?  That way you could save files larger than 4GB on it.  Or would that cause some incompatibilities with some digital devices (cameras, camcorders, etc.)?

I hope microSDHC reaches capacities like that... I have an 8gb microSDHC card in my HTC Tilt that I use to store movies and music. This has pretty effectively replaced my 8gb iPod nano ... but 32 or even 16gb would be an awesome upgrade.

for what you get. You can buy much more storage for half that price, but like every piece of tech the price will come down.
