x8 Expansion of Data Storage Capability of Mobile Phones Such
as the Nokia 6630, 6680, 6681, 6682
ATP Electronics Inc., a leading manufacturer of digital flash media
products, today announced that it is beginning mass production of
the world's first 512MB dual voltage RS-MMC (DV RS-MMC).
This follows ATP's announcement in early February of 256/128MB DV
RS-MMC product availability. The dual voltage (DV) feature
allows for compatibility with devices running on the conventional
3.0V as well as with the dual voltage 3.0/1.8V devices.

The low voltage feature translates to much lower power consumption,
meaning a longer battery life for mobile digital devices of both
today and tomorrow.
The highest capacity 512MB DV RS-MMC card expands the storage capacity
8-fold, thus allowing for 8 times the amount of video, music, photos,
games, and ring tones on new mobile phones which either require
or can use dual voltage memory cards such as Nokia smartphones 6630,
6680, 6681, 6682 models.
¡§Today these Nokia handsets and other digital mobile devices requiring
dual voltage (DV) RS-MMC typically come bundled with a 64MB DV RS-MMC
card. This poses a huge limitation on the amount of digital content
a user can store. By offering such a high capacity 512MB
card solution, ATP enables users to fully utilize the handsets'
multimedia functions and feature sets, allowing for the enhanced
ability to store and play video, music and games¡¨, said Danny Lin,
ATP VP of Sales and Marketing.
ATP's new DV RS-MMC memory cards offer the same advanced features
as ATP's other flash card products offering ample protection from
water, dust, ESD (electro-static discharge), and extreme temperatures
ranging from ¡V40¢XC to 85¢XC. This allows for versatility and durability
rarely found today in flash memory cards. The 512MB DV RS-MMC product
is available immediately. 256MB and 128MB DV RS-MMC cards are also
currently available.
