Toshiba With Third Generation FlashAir III Wireless SD Card

Toshiba’s Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., introduced the FlashAir III Wireless SD Card, a third generation memory card that serves as its own wireless LAN access point, allowing users to share images, videos and files wirelessly.

With enhanced photo sharing and management features, users can quickly designate which photos to instantly share and manage files from a web browser on a PC.

The FlashAir III delivers speedy data transfers so users can quickly upload their images and videos. This Wireless SD Card’s Internet pass-through feature allows users to access the card and Internet (via your separate wireless router) simultaneously – enabling the ability to upload images in real-time. Using a wireless LAN chip, it is accessible to any wireless capable computers, smartphones or tablets, and can support simultaneous access from up to seven devices ⁽¹⁾. In addition, the built-in Wi-Fi access point also allows for transfers without an Internet connection.

“We understand how important it is for consumers to share their photo and video memories with family and friends,” said Maciek Brzeski, VP, branded storage, digital products division, Toshiba America Information Systems. “We have eliminated the cumbersome task of uploading pictures via a USB cord so users can effortlessly share and manage their files, leaving more time for what’s important.“

Toshiba offers a free FlashAir mobile app that makes it easy to share via iOS and Android-based devices. The FlashAir III Wireless SD Card is backed by a five-year standard limited warranty. ⁽²⁾

It will be available for purchase in March, 2015 at various retailers for $79.99 MSRP ⁽³⁾ for 16GB ⁽⁴⁾ and $99.99 for 32GB.

⁽⁴⁾ 1GB means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes and 1TB means 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer OS, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB= 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software, OS and other factors.
