SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today introduced the Memory Stick Micro™ (M2) product line – an ultra-thin, removable storage card for use with Sony Ericsson’s latest generation of slim line, multimedia mobile phones like the Cyber-shot™ and the Walkman® series phones. The SanDisk M2 cards are available in 2-gigabyte (GB ) – the market’s highest capacity M2, followed by the 1GB and 512-megabyte (MB ). The announcement was made today at the Consumer Electronics Show, where SanDisk is demonstrating products in South Hall 4, booth #36203 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

SanDisk M2 memory cards are ideal for users requiring expandable storage for more music, videos and quality photos. “The M2 is the new memory card form-factor of choice for the latest Sony Ericsson line of mobile phones delivering great music playback and advanced optics for photos and videos,” said Jeff Kost, handset business vice-president at SanDisk. The M2 2GB holds up to 500 MP3 songs, 640 minutes of MPEG4 video or up to 4800 photos .

“SanDisk is responding to growing demand from users for more storage for their personal files to carry around in their phone.” Kost said “Our high-capacity M2 cards provide more flexibility for users to keep their music with them and still have room for plenty of snapshots and even music videos or video-blogs.” The M2 mobile cards are shipping in January to retailers worldwide, with the release in Japan scheduled later in the quarter. Suggested U.S. retail pricing: 2GB – $119.99, 1GB – $54.99, 512MB – $44.99.
