(InfoWorld) - A Taiwanese research institute has produced a new global memory card standard, the miCard (Multiple Interface card) designed to work in smaller consumer gadgets such as digital cameras, mobile phones, as well as any device with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) plug, which are common on PCs. The purpose of the card is to make transferring pictures, songs, and other data between gadgets and PCs easier. The card won the stamp of approval from the MultiMedia Card Association (MMCA) on Thursday, and is expected to be available globally starting from the third quarter. Users will not only benefit from the versatility of the card, but also its speed. The miCard will transfer data at 480Mbps, and throughput will improve over time. The miCards due out in the third quarter will be able to store 8GB of information, but the maximum capacity is expected to top out around 2,048GB. The compatibility with both USB and MMC slots means most users won't need separate card readers anymore. MMC cards fit most consumer electronics, while USB connections are built into a wide range of IT hardware, including laptops, desktops, printers and home entertainment gear. So far, 12 Taiwanese companies have signed on to manufacture the miCard, according to its inventor, the Industrial Technology Research Institute. Officials expect local companies to save $40 million in licensing fees thanks to the card, in addition to profiting from sales. Taiwanese companies will not have to pay royalties to make miCards or related technology. The companies already committed to making miCards include A-Data Technology, Asustek Computer, BenQ, Carry Computer Eng. Co., C-One Technology, DBTel, Power Digital Card Co.,Â and RiCHIP. The specifications for the cards will be made available in June.ADVERTISEMENTIBM Information On Demand 2006Industrial Industry Leaders, please join us at IBM's premier information management global event, IBM Information On Demand 2006, October 15-20, Anaheim, CA.

Diving with a digicam Review How do you sell a seven-megapixel camera when so many rivals are doing the same? You can't rely on the usual features - big LCD, anti-blur tech, slimline metal casing, etc - because everyone else has those too. No, you need something a little different, and in Casio's case that means offering your latest compact camera with an optional underwater kit.â¦
