Press Release: SanDisk provides Samsung mobiles with TrustedFlash
SanDisk Corporation today announced that Samsung
Mobile Communication Division, one of the world’s leading mobile phone
manufacturers, will be our lead partner in providing mobile phones that support
the new SanDisk TrustedFlash cards. TrustedFlash offers mobile phone
manufacturers like Samsung superior storage, security and content management
capabilities on their handsets. The removable TrustedFlash memory cards from
SanDisk will be sold in the popular SanDisk microSD, miniSD and Secure Digital
formats. These cards include the intelligent cryptographic engine needed for the
storage of premium content, such as music, video, and games, on flash memory
cards.
TrustedFlash supports DVB-H and DMB

capabilities for flash memory cards, such as recording mobile TV standards like
DVB-H and DMB. TrustedFlash cards will also be used in mobile commerce
applications in the future. Having TrustedFlash support will give users of
Samsung’s mobile phones direct access to the most current content. These
cards also provide easy access for consumers to purchase albums, games and
videos, either through the Internet or through their wireless provider. The two
companies worked closely together to integrate SanDisk’s TrustedFlash
software development kit (SDK) into Samsung handsets.
