With the announcement, Lexar is the second manufacturer to offer such speeds in a CF card, as SanDisk already offers a 90MBps product range.

The facility will scale up production to about 200,000 wafers per month as a result. Toshiba used the factory to build 3-bit per cell (3bpc) 32nm memory, which were expected to account for 50 percent of ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/21/toshiba.sandisk.to.mass.produce.sub.30nm.memory/ Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/20/sansa.clip.plus.reviewed/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/sandisksansaclipplus-review.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nowhere is it harder to make a good portable media player than in the ultra-small, wearable field; even Apple decided it would rather go without a screen than try to fit the usual controls into something that clips on your belt.

The cards are fast at 90MBps, or twice as fast as previous SanDisk products, thanks to a new SanDisk Power Core Controller that better exploits the UDMA bus.

The major revision to its iPod shuffle competitor fits a microSDHC card slot and can use this either to expand the built-in storage or to play the company's preloaded slotMusic or slotRadio cards.
