Here's a challenge: do you reckon you can fill half-a-terabyte of memory using only a smartphone?
For some people, we're sure, the answer will be along the lines of “hold my beer while I set my camera to HDR mode and snap some selfies”. So the good news is that from February, you'll be able to lay out the readies on a 512 GB microSDXC card from Integral Memory.
At a transfer rate of 80 megabytes per second, you'd need more than an hour and a half to transfer a full card's worth of data; last year's 400 GB monster from SanDisk (no longer the world's biggest little memory card) still has the edge there, claiming a 100 MB/second transfer rate.
Integral's 512GB microSDXC V10, UHS-I U1 card is fast enough to meet V10 (Video speed class 10) for capturing full HD video.
Integral has put up a web page and a Spec sheet (pdf) for it.
Now we can set them up as media hubs for all.

Eh? Here I thought their brilliant plan is to force everyone to go wireless and the Cloud (specifically iCloud). I like the first part of that plan (wireless) cause I really detest cables but I detest cloud storage more - we are seeing more wifi enabled external disks now so that may plug that gap.
The only problem I see with Apple's plan though is that is poses economic hurdles for frugal folks like me, going cable-less has an added premium. On the other hand Apple's target crowd ain't me - I do wish them success though so that it gets mass adoption and prices go down for that cable-less lifestyle.
