Lexar Introduces New Ultra-Compact 4GB miniSDHC(TM) and 2GB microSD(TM) Storage Cards at 3GSM



    Lexar, a world leader in advanced digital media technologies, will
    introduce two new ultra-compact mobile memory storage products at the
    3GSM World Congress, expanding its range to include a 4GB miniSDHC(TM)
    card and a 2GB microSD(TM) card. The increased capacities of the new
    Lexar memory cards will enable the end user to take maximum advantage
    of a broader range of advanced features and capabilities offered by
    today's new mobile phones, including applications ranging from games
    to music, video, image, and file storage. Lexar's new miniSDHC and
    microSD cards will begin shipping worldwide in April 2007. The new
    cards, as well as Lexar's full range of storage solutions for mobile
    phones and other portable devices, will be showcased at 3GSM in the
    Micron booth (Hall 1, booth 1H21).

    Lexar's new 4GB miniSDHC card will allow users to store more than
    100 hours of video in MPEG4 (3GP2) format, over 1,000 songs (4-minute
    song in MP3 format), or over 4,000 photos (using a 3 megapixel
    cameraphone)*. The new 2GB microSD card can hold up to 50 hours of
    video in MPEG4 (3GP2) format, over 500 songs in MP3 format, or over
    2,000 photos using a 3 megapixel cameraphone.

    "Many industry projections indicate that 2007 will be the year
    when sales of compact memory cards for mobile phones will overtake
    sales of cards for digital cameras, with an estimated worldwide market
    exceeding 300 million phones with removable memory capabilities," said
    Michael Yang, Director of Product Marketing of Flash Memory Cards at
    Lexar. "With the additional content features and services provided by
    the latest generation of phones, cameras, and portable music devices,
    there will also be increasing demand for memory cards with expanded
    capacities. The introduction of our new miniSDHC and microSD cards
    reflects Lexar's ongoing commitment to providing our customers with
    all the memory they need to take full advantage of all the latest
    advancements."

    *Actual number of photos, minutes, and songs will vary depending
    on device model, format resolution and compression, usable capacity,
    and bundled software. Actual usable memory may vary. 1GB equals 1
    billion bytes.
