Sandisk to benefit Alzheimer's Association with purple flash storage
The success of the PRODUCT (RED) AIDS fundraising program has started to spawn imitators -- the Alzheimer's Association has picked purple as its "signature color" and SanDisk is first out the gate with a co-branded USB flash drive and SD card. The purple 2GB SanDisk Ultra II SD card and 2GB Cruzer Micro drive will retail for the same price as their non-disease-fighting counterparts, but SanDisk will donate $1 per unit to the Alzheimer's Association, up to a maximum of $1M. We're happy to see a good concept extended, but unlike the flashy (RED) devices, no one's ever going to see you flaunt that purple SD card while it's in your camera -- what will the fashionistas ever do?
SanDisk bumps its Cruzer Micro series to 8GB
No matter how many we lose in the couch, we just can never get enough capacity in our thumb drives and SanDisk never seems to get tired of meeting our demands. The company just announced that it's sticking 8GB of flash into its Cruzer Micro USB flash drives, and will sell the new model mid-September for around $130. Of course, you can always score a 4GB drive for $70, or even a 2GB for $40, so choose your obscene amount of flash capacity wisely.
