Future generations of these cards promise up to 2 Terabytes (2048 GB) of storage capacity and speeds of up to 300MB/s. Currently there are no products compatible with these memory cards."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1236644139.usr1.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>Well, one of them had to come first: the chicken or the egg. In this case, it's the "egg" in the form of a 32 GB SDXC card. Sure, there's nothing on the market yet that can use it, but at least none of the other consumer electronics companies can say there aren't any cards on the market. No word on pricing of course - knowing Pretec, it's probably going to be quite expensive for the first few months.</p>
