Panasonic develops 32GB SD card with Class 6 speed

It may be hard to spot on the hectic CES show floor, but Panasonic is showing off its new prototype SDHC card that holds a whopping 32GB of data. Although it won't be available immediately, the memory card is the world's first at that size.

The card, which surely won't come cheap, is being pitched as the solution for recording high-definition content. 32GB equates to about 8 hours of of 1440 x 1080i video and and five hours and 20 minutes of 1920 x 1080p full HD video. The Class 6 specification means the SDHC card can transfer data at 20MB/sec.
