Kingston is a name that most of us would associate with when it comes to flash memory as well as digital storage media, and they have kept to their word from their March press release that they will further expand the microSDHC memory card family, this time around throwing in a 32GB Class 10 microSDHC card that sports a 10MB per second minimum data transfer rate, making it more than suitable for devices that are more demanding than the rest – including shooting high-resolution photos or capturing High Definition video from a smartphone; after all, both speed and size are important here. Class 10 has already made its way to the masses as being common for full size SD memory cards, but in the mobile world, that is a very different proposition altogether.
The 32GB model will retail for $153 a pop, which means you no longer have to choose from just 4GB, 8GB and 16GB models. Of course, who are we to stop you if your budget does not permit you to get this, right? Other hardware specifications are as follows :-
