SanDisk MicrSDHC 4 GB Media Card


Convergence is all the rage – we want to carry all our Media, Data and assorted information with us at all times. The problem, is storage capacity. I have a 30 gig iPod that is almost full. Now, I don’t need all that music and all those Videos with me at all times – but I like to have the choice.

Features:
High storage capacity (4GB) for storing essential digital content such as high quality photos, videos, music and more
Optimal speed and performance for microSDHC compatible devices
Speed performance rating: Class 2 (based on SD 2.00 Specification)
High Quality microSDHC card backed by 5 year limited warranty
Built to last, with an operating shock rating of 2,000Gs, equivalent to a ten-foot drop **
SanDisk microSDHC 4GB card ships with Bonus MicroMate™ USB 2.0 SD/SDHC Reader, to ensure compatibility when downloading pictures or other digital content
Easily transfer files between your digital devices and computer
High speed USB 2.0 certified reader/writer for fast data transfer

Not all devices support microSDHC 4.0GB cards. Please contact your device manufacturer for details. To ensure compatibility, look for the microSDHC logo on the product or packaging of your new phone or PDA.

What are the differences between SD and SDHC?
Regular SD cards use the FAT16 file system, but SDHC uses FAT32 to boost the range of memory addresses it can access and so store. Micro SD versions work the same way.

There are warnings on the SanDisk site that trying to put information from the old SD or Micro SD cards onto the new ones might not work. In addition, if 4GB cards are inserted into a legacy SD/miniSD/microSD host device, the host device may not recognize/utilize the card as 4GB, and it instead may read as a 2GB card.

Overall Conclusions
This is a simple and easy way to double or quadruple the storage space on your BlackBerry device. You can do everything your friends can do on their iPhones with all the conveniences of your BlackBerry keyboard and BlackBerry email.

This might just be enough to get you to ditch your iPod or portable MP3 or PMP and just use your trusty BlackBerry for all your Media needs.
