Supporting Booming Digital Device Markets
March 21, 2005, Kingston Technology, the world’s leading independent memory manufacturer, today announced the further expansion of its digital media product offerings with the new MMCplus cards in 256-MB, 512-MB and 1-GB capacities and the 256-MB MultiMediaCard (MMC) card.
Based on the high-speed MMC card format, the new MMCplus cards offer increased performance and flexibility. MMCplus is based on the latest MultiMediaCard System Specification Version 4.0. This new standard offers five times the reading speed over the previous MMC standard and is suited for data-intensive applications such as digital imaging and digital music. Furthermore, the new MMCplus cards operate at faster clock speeds and support wider bus-widths (x1, x4, x8 bit) to enable more data intensive content. MMCplus cards come with a lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical support. In addition, all MMCplus cards are backwards-compatible with previous MMC standard host devices.
