Sony Ericsson handset owners rejoice - SanDisk to release 8GB Memory Stick Micro card soon

Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) is known as the only major handset manufacturer which doesn’t support microSD cards in its phones. Rather the Swedish-Japanese joint venture relies on Memory Stick Micro (M2) standard. And now we have SanDisk announcing the largest capacity M2 card in the world - 8GB. According to SanDisk, users will be able to store more than than 2,000 songs, or 5,000 high-resolution pictures, or up to 5 hours of high-quality MPEG 4 videos. Yeah, the numbers suggest the perfect compression and the right codec used, but it’s still 8 gigs!
Anyway, at this stage the new cards are only available to handset manufacturers (Sony Ericsson, who else) and carriers, which should do all the testing and evaluation before the cards — or that’s the sticks — are released to the general public. Patience my friends…
