About SanDisk® Mobile Ultra?

SanDisk Mobile Ultra premium flash memory cards for multimedia mobile phones will be promoted at the Rock the Bells powered by SanDisk venues. The message of the Wake Up Your Phone? campaign is that these memory cards can add up to 8GB* of additional digital storage. Having a mobile memory card in one's phone results in a significant boost in storage capacity, making it possible for consumers to take up to 1000 songs, 1200 photos and 21 hours of video with them.** That's more than enough capacity to drive from San Francisco to New York without hearing the same song twice, fill six photo albums with images and watch both Star Wars trilogies and the Matrix trilogy, as examples.

The SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD comes in capacities of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB, with suggested MSRPs of $34.99, $59.99 and $119.99, respectively. Also available is the SanDisk Mobile Ultra Memory Stick Micro M2?, designed for Sony Ericsson smart phones, in 2GB, 4 GB and 8GB capacities, with suggested MSRPs of $39.99, $69.99 and $129.99.
