Not one to miss an opportunity to seize the moment, SanDisk's Jeff Kost says that with the new microSDHC cards, 'any mobile phone with a compatible microSDHC slot will have just as much storage as the largest-capacity iPhone.'"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20070629-microsdhc-8gb.jpg" /><br /><br />Knowing how small a MicroSD and M2 card really are, I'm absolutely amazed - these make my 8GB CF cards look like steam-age relics. While I'll bet the prices of these will be in the stratosphere when they hit the street, I'd expect we'll see them mass-market affordable within a couple of years. The new cards also bring decent storage capacity within reach of any device with an SDHC slot, though I wouldn't exactly bring up the iPhone comparison just yet.
