Mobile Flash Chips – Increased Storage Capabilities For Compact Cell Phones

The SanDisk Corporation - the world’s largest supplier of flash memory data storage card products – has announced SanDisk TransFlash (formerly known as T-Flash) mobile flash chip. The SanDisk TransFlash is the world’s smallest removable flash memory chip. Mobile flash chips allow you to easily transfer the storage of data from your cell phone to other cellular phones and devices.

The SanDisk TransFlash chip is similar in size and function to the currently existing embedded flash memory, but it goes one step further and allows you to easily remove and upgrade to the memory as your storage capacity requirements change. The SanDisk TransFlash is only the size of a fingernail so they are optimally designed for the new compact style cellular phones that have storage-intensive multimedia applications attached to them such as digital cameras, MP3 players, video games, personal organizers, Multimedia Message Service (MMS), email and voicemail. The size of the SanDisk TransFlash means that you can store more data in your cellular without upgrading to a larger cell phone.

Next generation cell phones allow the user to record, play and store music, images, animations, email, messages and other data like never before. Increasing demand to do more with our phones means that we will all require substantially more flash storage than is available with the majority of today’s cell phones.

Motorola has announced that the Motorola E1000 and the Motorola A1000, two 3G phones, will use the 32MB TransFlash flash chips. Motorola believes that SanDisk TransFlash memory allows them to pursue smaller, sleeker cell phone designs without sacrificing the capabilities of our new handsets including still image and video capture, music replay, and Internet messaging.
