SanDisk today announced that it will launch 16GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2) mobile memory cards in January.

The SanDisk Mobile Ultra cards offer fast side-loading speeds. Users will experience faster transfer rates to and from the memory card and computer. Cards are bundled with a MobileMate Micro Reader that plugs directly into a USB 2.0-compatible port.

The microSDHC cards are ideal for newer mobile phones and the Memory Stick Micro (M2) cards are designed for Sony Ericsson's new generation of mobile phones.

"As consumers listen to music, view photos, take and watch videos on their phones, the need for high-capacity removable mobile phone memory cards that can quickly transfer these files increases," said Diana Cartwright, Senior Director of SanDisk. "Our new 16GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC and M2 cards include a MobileMate Micro reader for fast side-loading, offering the most convenient means for people to store, move and play digital content to and from their mobile phones."

The 16GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2) cards will have a retail price (MSRP) of $119.99 and $129.99, respectively.
