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.

    Apple's brilliant plan is to force all its users to buy lots of dongles

    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.
