PMA 2008 Report
Giving photo enthusiasts the freedom to take more digital pictures and shoot more video, SanDisk Corporation increased both capacities and speeds in its SanDisk Ultra II flash memory line with the introduction of 32- and 16-gigabyte (GB) SDHC cards and an 8GB SDHC Plus flash memory card. The announcement was made at the photo industry’s PMA 2008 International Convention in Las Vegas. Ideal for today’s camcorders and point-and-shoot digital cameras that can record both video and still images, the cards offer faster read and write speeds of 15 megabytes per second2 (15MB/sec), up from previous speeds of 10MB/sec read and 9MB/sec write in the SanDisk Ultra II line.
SanDisk at PMA 2007
It seemed somewhat unusual to find out that SanDisk did not use the PMA 2007 for massive introduction of new or upgraded products. Only small announcements were made, like the introduction of the SanDisk 8GB Ultra II SDHC memory card and an enhancement of the Extreme III assortment, but that was all. The flash memory market is going through incredibly vigorous times. Prices have been dropping as they never have before and even the smallest providers went along in this flow; more or less forced by the competition. Most providers know they can't keep up for long. SanDisk announced even before the PMA in Las Vegas started that they will take their precautions to be able to get along.
