16 GB Sandisk microSD cards to be released in July

I was informed from my sources close to Sandisk that those sought-after 16GB microSD cards are supposed to be available to online stores in about 4 weeks, which should put availability sometime in July. This pushes availability 1 month later as these were supposed to available in June as we hoped. Apparently SanDisk seemed have had few issues lately and due to the large inventory of 8GB cards that needs to be moved, all have lead to the delay of the 16GB cards.

With an impending release of the N96 with its built-16GB of memory and the option of adding microSDHC cards, you could very soon be walking around with devices holding no less than 32GB’s of memory.  Will you be getting the N96 with one of those 16GB Sandisk microSDHC cards?

Update: Some of you have been asking about the 12GB Sandisk microSD cards. It seems Sandisk will completely skip these and go straight for the 16GB models. Looking ahead, 32GB microSD cards should be arriving in the next 12 to 18 months, making it possible for users to carry a total of 48GB of memory in a device like the N96.

Hey Devin. When is the 12gb gonna be available on Amazon? Thats already available for the market right? I can't wait for these 16gig cards. That will fit my whole music collection which is only 11 gigs and have plenty left over for movies and photos.
