“The SD Association, the body representing manufacturers of SD memory cards, announced SDXC, its next-generation (eXtended Capacity) memory card specification, providing for up to 2 terabytes storage capacity and SD interface read/write speeds up to 104 megabytes per second this year, with a road map to 300 megabytes per second,” Stuart Corner reports for iTWire.
“At its maximum 2TB capacity, an SDXC memory card will store an estimated 100 HD movies, 480 hours of HD recording or 136,000 fine-mode photos,” Corner reports.
“Also at CES, wireless chip developer Atheros demonstrated WLAN technology that will allow client devices such as PCs, handsets, cameras, MP3 players, wireless printers and set-top boxes to connect directly to other each other without the use of a WiFi access point,” Corner reports. “It added: ‘This technology also provides smartphones with soft [WiFi access point] capability, which supports multiple clients…and will become an industry standard within the next year.'”
