I came across a press release today announcing 32Gb microSD cards. Here’s the blurb from the release

The 32GB microSD card, developed this month, stacks eight 32Gb NAND components and a card controller. The industry’s highest capacity, production-ready microSD card is enabled by the use of Samsung’s advanced 30-nm class 32Gb NAND flash memory technology. Previously, the highest density microSD card in production had a 16GB capacity and was based on 40nm-class 16Gb NAND. The new 32GB card is 1mm-thick. The portion of the card that is inserted into a handset measures just 0.7 mm in height.

I don’t know how many of you out there have made their careers in micro-chip design, but the reality is that most of us tend to feel the effect of this industry. I think it’s just great that technology develops at the rate it is at the moment, there’s something new to look forward to every day!

In the meantime, I need to start thinking about upgrading my microSD card
