Panasonic is developing a 4Gbyte SD card and will have it on the market by summer, the company said at Cebit today. The card follows a new Specification version 2.0 and looks the same size as a standard SD, but only devices supporting the spec will be able to use it.

It will be known as an SDHC (for high capacity) card and the spec allows for capacities of up to 32GBytes, with performance ratings going up to a Class 6 of 6Mbyte/sec transfer rate. Panasonic says the design on the card (left) may change
