"Fountain Valley, CA -- August 9, 2005 - Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the further expansion of its Secure Digital (SD) Ultimate Card product line with the release of a new ultra-performing 2-GB capacity card. With super-fast 120X transfer rates, Kingston SD Ultimate cards offer significant performance benefits over current Standard and Elite Pro lines of SD cards. The greater storage capacity of the 2-GB SD Ultimate card meets the rigorous demands of professional digital photographers."
Very nice! Now at a list price of $219, this isn't cheap, especially when compared with the current market price of 1GB SD cards. I would expect this price to come down once it's been on the market for a bit and the other manufacturers start to release competing 2GB offerings. At this point, there is no word yet on when we will see the card in online stores or who will carry it (the "Buy Now" links found here on their site lead to empty information at the moment).
