Cornice introduces a 10GB memory card

Cornice intends to introduce the Dragon memory card line with a larger storage capacity but smaller in size at the CES 2006 exhibition - an annual consumer electronics exhibition - next week.

Cornice said that the Dragon memory card line will have storage capacity up to 8GB and 10GB instead of memory cards with 4GB and 6GB capacity today. But the new memory card drive will be slimmer and more compact (about 60% of the current memory card).

This will enable electronics manufacturers to create music players, handheld devices with built-in cameras and mobile phones that support smaller memory cards.

Hard drive manufacturers are already in the race with 'flash' memory (memory card) technology to suit smaller devices. According to Cornice, the new memory card line will be the smallest memory card on the market and will sell for $ 18.5 / GB.
