It was just last month at CES when Panasonic introduced its first 64 GB SDXC memory cards, opening up a new doorway for fans of high-definition cameras and camcorders. Of course, Panasonic’s suggested retail pricing for those 64 GB cards was $599.95 each. Now comes memory and storage developer SanDisk with its 64 GB Ultra SDCX card, offering the same capacity for just $349.99.

“SDXC is the successor to the popular SDHC card format,” said SanDisk’s director of retail product marketing Susan Park, in a statement. “The 64GB SanDisk Ultra SDXC card delivers the speed and capacity consumers need for extended HD video recording and improved rapid shooting of still images. The card is an ideal complement for recently-announced SDXC-compatible cameras and camcorders.”

Gear compatible with SDXC cards is still wending its way to market, with Canon being the first out the gate with cameras supporting the storage format. The SDXC card format is based on the new SD 3.0 specification, which supports card capacities all the way out to 2 TB.

SanDisk’s Ultra SDXC card supports write speeds of up to 15MB/s; the 64 GB capacity means the card can hold up to eight hours of high-definition video recorded at 9 Mbps.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
