Blog maverick. Kingston announces "fastest ever" SDHC cards - Up to three times faster than Class 10 cards. Kingston has announced its latest Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) UHS-I UltimateXX memory cards, which it claims are the fastest currently available in the world. The memory cards, which can be used in SDHC and SDXC-compatible digital cameras and other portable devices, features speeds of 233x, which equates to up to 60MB/s read speeds and 35MB/s write speeds, which is up to three times faster than Class 10 SDHC cards. These speeds are available for devices which use the ultra high-speed bus I (UHS-I), but the cards are also backwards compatible with Class 4, Class 6 and Class 10 devices, although speeds may be slower on these.
The cards are approved by the Secure Digital Association, which sets the standars required for high-performance SD memory cards. They also feature a built-in write-protect switch to prevent accidental data loss. Three capacities are available in the UltimateXX range: 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. Ipad owners also buy Kindles - They are mad twice. The myth that iPad owners are using their shiny toys to read books has finally been shattered after Amazon revealed that Apple fanboys can't get enough of its eBook reader.
For a while now, the iPad has been seen as a rival to the Kindle because you can read an ebook on the beast. However new figures from Amazon show that many of its buyers are actually iPad owners, which begs the question, if the iPad was a great way to read a book, then why get a Kindle? Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said that the Kindle is a companion to more expensive LCD devices like the iPad and assorted Android tablets, more of which are due to arrive in 2011. He said that many who are buying Kindles also own an LCD tablet. Tablets are being used for games, movies, and web browsing and while Kindles are for reading, he said.
The reason is that the Kindle weighs less and has the paper-like Pearl e-ink display that reduces eye-strain. Bezos claimed that the Kindle's $139 price point was important too.
