Starting the development and manufacture of T-flash(Micro SD) card in Q4 of 2004, Kingmax Digital Inc announced that this world’s smallest removable T-flash(Micro SD) card would be launched to the market in Q1 of 2005. The T-flash(Micro SD) card gained immediate support from Motorola, the world leading mobile phone manufacturer, when it was introduced into the market in 2004, and Moto has since launched new models that support the T-flash(Micro SD) card for its mini size and upgradeable advantages to reform the inflexibility of embedded memory of conventional mobile phones. While its mini size can save cartridge space, mobile phone manufacturers are given greater room in the appearance design of mobile phones. Therefore, Moto is promoting the application of T-flash(Micro SD) memory with active actions in order to make T-flash(Micro SD) card the standard memory specification of multimedia mobile phones.

　　Kingmax has adopted the SLC (single level cell) architecture for all its memory products. This architecture is technically superior to the MLC (multi-level cell) architecture and requires a higher production cost because it offers greater flexibility in capacity expansion, greater data transfer speed, better energy saving performance and thus a longer life. Therefore, the new T-flash(Micro SD) card from Kingmax is a better choice to meet the storage and data transfer speed requirements of high-resolution mobile phones, as well as the total solution for video and audio recording and playback.

　　According the IDC, a market survey expert, the storage capacity has become the primary requirement of modern mobile phones which offer comprehensive functions. It is expected that the output value of the global mobile market will rise to US$745 million in 2007, and the demand for phone storage capacity will augment as the user’s demand for on-the-phone video and audio keeps increasing. Therefore, the T-flash(Micro SD) card which is as small as conventional embedded memory, removable and expandable as ordinary flash memories, and allows users to add new applications will surely be the right storage medium for multifunctional mobile devices in the future.

　　In a time when slimness and light-weight have become a global trend, whether big appliance or small personal belongings are needed to be lightweight, slim, short and small. Therefore, even memory cards are slim and lightweight, it is necessary for manufacturers to make them even smaller. The thumb-sized T-flash(Micro SD) card that introduced into the market in Q4 of 2004 is believed to be the smallest removable storage device on the market. The development and manufacture technologies of T-flash(Micro SD) have become mature. Kingmax thus take the lead to introduce the new generation T-flash(Micro SD) card into the market with its technology-focus tradition in hopes to bring the memory card market to a new era.

　　The water-resistant T-flash(Micro SD) card ranging from 32MB to 128MB from Kingmax will launch to the market in March 2005 and the mass production and supply will start in Q2. The 256MB model is expected in the middle of 2005.
