There is a huge demand for flash memory, and this is actually quite logical if we look at the consumer electronics market. The majority of traditional storage media has been replaced, first by intermediate solutions such as DVD and Blu-Ray, and soon after, flash memory conquered its market share. This highly influences the camcorder market. The share of flash memory-based camcorders is growing rapidly. Also, the strong rise of mobile phones and smart phones with onboard Internet and a digital camera, strongly increases the demand for flash memory cards. Portable entertainment such as the iPod, iPhone, and other MP3 and video players, have been equipped with flash storage up to a maximum of 64GB. Development of these cards is still in process. Cards like SDHC feature a maximum storage capacity of 32GB, however, the new SDXC cards will grow to an impressive 2TB storage. Speed also continues to play an important role. The new SanDisk Extreme Pro cards featuring 64GB of storage and a data speed of 90MB/sec (read and write) and are best used by professional photographers. When speed is really going to make a break-through, we can even see opportunities to store Blu Ray content on a flash memory card.
