KEEP about 30 hours of DVD-quality video in this card the size of the nail on your little finger.

But the big deal about this 16GB microSDHC card is its speed - you can copy the entire contents of a CD on to one in just over a minute.

A Class 10 card - the higher the number, the faster the speed - it promises a minimum data transfer speed of 10MBps.

Plug this card into your smartphone and it will be a long while before it runs out of memory, whether you are shooting videos or using your phone as a mobile cinema.

Use it with an SD adapter and this microSD card will also fit snugly into your compact camera or camcorder.
