Toshiba is to launch the world's first 8GB SD card in January, five months after unveiling its 4GB version in September this year.

The new flash memory card is the latest addition to its new series of high-capacity SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory cards. The card is based on the SD Card Association's SD Specifications Ver2.00, which defines high capacity, high performance enhancements to SD Memory Cards.

The new card meets the Class 4 standard, the speed standard that requires a data write speed of at least 4MB a second, which helps manufacturers looking to build devices that can encode high-definition video files at high speed. The new card can record over three hours of video in the MPEG2 format.
