New memory card tech at CES 2008

Need more space on your memory card? If CF is your thing… Pretec has introduced their lineup of Compact Flash cards at CES 2008 – which includes a 16GB, a 24GB, and a 48GB card! Lots of space, and the write speeds go up to a blazing 50MB/sec.

If you’re an SD card user, we noticed that Panasonic has introduced a 32GB class 6 SDHC card capable of write speeds of 6MB/sec.

Finally, Sony Memory Sticks have upped the ante to 16GB and Lexar has 8GB SDHC cards now with 20MB/sec write speeds (!).

Speaking of Lexar – it seems they’ll be licensing the SD WiFi technology from Eye-Fi. Doesn’t appear they’ll be changing anything on the cards (from what Engadget.com says) but this will help the Eye-Fi folks get some wider exposure.
