Memory Cards - The Cell Phone Must-Have For Multimedia Fans

Your cell phone is not just for communicating anymore. It’s quickly becoming a complete solution for uploading, downloading, and storing images, music and data. Your files, MP3s and pictures are important to you. Sometimes, you’ll need to access them when you least expect it. And think about it…where have we always kept them? On our big, clunky desktop computer's hard drive. But, that’s so 2002. How does your cell phone do all this? With a memory card.

• Sales of these little juggernauts are exploding – a 160% increase from 2004 - 2005.

• Plus, with every passing day, they are getting bigger (in terms of memory), easier to use and less expensive.

• The average capacity of memory cards sold for use in cell phones was 112MB (holds 24 songs) in 2005. By 2010, they will be closer to 1.6GB (300 songs).

• For those who don’t mind spending a little more, you can get a 2GB memory card right now. They retail for around $90. At this price and size, they may even compete with iPods.

• For a 1GB card, look to spend about $40.

• Samsung uses a format called MMC, or Multimedia Card.

• Sony, Intel and Kingston also make cards or memory sticks, which are an older, larger type of data storage devices.

• SanDisk recently announced a 1GB MicroSD (Secure Digital) card.

• First, make sure that your phone has the slot available. Some older phones do not have a memory card slot.

• Next, check the owner’s manual or manufacturer’s website for details on what types of memory cards you can use with your specific phone.

• Finally, pick a size that will hold the necessary amount of songs, data, games, or images that you want to store.
