SAMSUNG Electronics Develops Removable, Thumbnail-sized Memory Card for Mobile Phones
Seoul, Korea – December 14, 2004 : Samsung announced today that it has developed an extremely small, low-power multimedia memory card (MMC) for mobile phones. The Samsung MMCmicro memory card has been designed to overcome a major hurdle in cell phone design – achieving high performance with a low-power, removable memory card, now smaller than the size of a thumbnail.
With dimensions of only 12×14x1.1mm, Samsung’s new “MMCmicro†device is one-third the size of today’s common reduced-size multimedia cards (RS-MMC). Samsung said that the design of its low-power card makes it easy to incorporate removable memory into progressively smaller mobile phones. Each card can operate on 1.8 or 3.3 volts of power.
