Toshiba recently announced that they would start producing a 16-Gigabyte MicroSDHC in January of next year. "Toshiba Corp. (Toshiba), a leading innovator in memory card technologies and solutions, and Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC), its subsidiary in the Americas, today reinforced their memory card line-up with the launch of a 16GB microSDHC card offering the largest capacity available in the market." Although the smaller chip only transfers at 6Mps instead of the faster 20Mps, the fact that 16 Gigabytes can be crammed into such a small area could mean huge changes in the computer/smartphone environment.
The bridge between phone and computer has been constantly blurring with the increase of mobile internet use among smartphone users. The ability to link the phone and the computer so far has been relegated to files and applications both share. The increased space on the phone could be used for more files, but it could also be used as a back-up for your computer.
