SanDisk microSDHC 8GBOne thing with today’s electronics and computers that you can never have too much of is storage. In today’s small factor flash storage for cellular phones the capacity tops out at 8GB for microSDHC cards. For some users, especially users of smartphones, 8GB is simply not enough storage space.

Strategy Analytics released a report that predicts a 120% growth annually in the capacity of removable storage for cell phones. In 2007 the max storage capacity was 517MB and the report says that by 2012 the storage capacity will be 26GB.

The report also finds that memory card sales for cell phones totaled 535 million units in 2007, a significant increase from the 309 million units sold in 2006. By 2012 sales of cell phone storage cards are expected to hit 990 million units. Revenue for storage cards in 2012 is expected to hit almost $11.3 billion.
