Today Toshiba announced the first 64GB SDXC memory card. Yep, that’s a whopping 64GBs of storage in a card not much bigger than your thumb. Pretty amazing if you think about it. The card should be available spring 2010 and features a maximum write speed of 35Mbps and read speed of 60Mbps. Perhaps a microSD version for phones won’t be too far away? One can only hope.

Verizon Wireless is apparently big on increasing their Mobile Broadband subscribership and to boost the line of service to all new levels on May 17th is the introduction of the MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot.  Unlike some other 3G routers we’ve seen, the MiFi features a built-in 3G modem as well as 802.11 b/g connectivity to create a WiFi hotspot that can be shared with up to 5 users as one time.  Additionally, it rocks a rechargeable battery that will produce 40 hours of standby time and 4 hours of use.   The MiFi itself will costs $99.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate after a contract signing, but that’s where the savings stop.  A $40 monthly subscription will get you just 250MB of bandwidth per month and cost you an additional $0.10 per megabyte of overages.  Alternatively, you can plunk down $60/month and snag 5GB of pipe and $0.05 per megabyte of overages, or just opt for a 24 hour day pass of $15 and a fully priced MiFi.

I’ll think I’ll just snag the cheapest mobile broadband services and my own 3G WiFi router.
