Samsung today announced the development of the 2GB MMCmicro card, the fastest and highest capacity mobile phone memory card.

Developed only three months after Samsung launched the 1GB MMCmicro, the new 2GB card can store approximately 12 hours of mobile video, transmitting data 3.5 times faster than other cards, the highest transmission speed of any removable memory card.

The 2GB MMCmicro card can operate at either 1.8 or 3.3 volts, making it an ideal solution for mobile phones. An adapter allows the card to be plugged into any multimedia card slot.

Samsung hasn't mentioned the planned release date of the 2GB card, but the 1GB MMCmicro will be commercially available in 2006.
