Sony Ericsson 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…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
