US
: ATP Electronic announced the release of 1GB MMCmobile flash cards.
In addition to supporting dual voltage (3V and 1.8V), a key feature
in saving battery power in mobile phones, the ATP 1GB MMCmobile cards
allow for super fast transfer speeds of up to 133X or 20MB/s, a performance
level which will maximize multimedia streaming and picture shooting
capabilities for current and future mobile phones.
(PRWEB) August
31, 2005 -- ATP Electronics Inc., a leading manufacturer of digital
flash media products, today announced the release of 1GB MMCmobile
flash cards.
The highest capacity
1GB MMCmobile cards allow for double the capacity of multimedia content
such as video, music, photos, games, and ringtones to be held on a
single card.
"The current
generation mobile phone is offering mega-pixel photography, video
recording, audio, gaming, and office application functionalities,
but is still limited in storage capacity. This 1GB capacity will allow
power users to unleash these functions, truly making their phones
complete portable multimedia solutions. In addition to ATP’s
MMCmobile lineup, our MMCplus and new MMCmicro lineups will continue
to solidify ATP as the true leader in flash card performance and technology,"
said Danny Lin, ATP VP of Sales and Marketing.
ATP MMCmobile?cards
are also compatible with mobile phones which require or can use dual
voltage memory cards such as Nokia smartphones 6630, 6680, 6681, 6682,
N90, and N70. This dual voltage (DV) feature allows for compatibility
with devices running on the conventional 3.0V as well as with the
dual voltage 3.0/1.8V devices. Low voltage translates to much lower
power consumption, meaning a longer battery life without any compromise
in multimedia function.
At 24 x 18 x 1.4mm
and about half the size of the MMCplus, the MMCmobile is a standard
memory card format conforming to the specification v4.1 of the MultiMediaCard
Association (MMCA). MMCmobile supports data bus width of 1/4/8 bits,
3/1.8V dual voltage, and is fully backward compatible with original
MMC cards.
ATP’s new
MMCmobile cards offer the same advanced features as ATP’s other
flash card products offering ample protection from water, dust, ESD
(electro-static discharge), and extreme temperatures ranging from
–40C to 85C. This allows for versatility and durability rarely
found today in flash memory cards. The 1GB MMCmobile product is available
in sample quantities now, with mass production planned in October.
512MB, 256MB and 128MB MMCmobile cards are also currently available.
