Lexar 8GB Platinum II 60x SD Memory Card

Lexar has released its 8GB Platinum II 60x SD memory card that targets folks who use devices that capture fast pictures, full motion video and is generally a winner with other SDHC-compatible devices. The speed is rated at 60x, which is roughly the equivalent of a minimum sustained write speed rate of 9MB/s. Since it is able to write notes pretty quickly, you can use that in conjunction with more contemporary digital cameras that support the “burst mode” feature, since it is more than able to handle the huge amount of documents that needs to be transferred by. No concept on the cost, but it ought to retail for a much higher premium compared to a standard SDHC memory card.

Creative Zen Mozaic Portable Media Player

Creative Zen Mozaic Portable Media Player

Creative isn’t quitting on the portable media player market just yet with a new Zen Mozaic model which will see the aging Zen V series booted out of the door. Since it is a new type of player (with an extremely terrible design, whether I might add), here are the specifications for your perusal.

  • 2GB/4GB/8GB capacities
  • Built-in speaker
  • 1.8″ TFT display

  • Multimedia playback of audio, video and photos

  • Integrated FM radio

  • Voice recording capability

The Zen Mozaic will come in black, silver and (oh no!) pink colors. The surface is definitely not my cup of tea, and I would say that that is an acquired taste. Like all recent Creative players, that model will come with a pretty dominant speaker just in case you want to share the musical love with everyone in your instant vicinity.
