San Francisco - SanDisk, a maker of flash memory-based storage media, announced that it has developed a new TrustedFlash card that incorporates anti-piracy technology developed by NDS, a unit of News Corp. The mobile digital rights management technology will be used to secure movies, music and games embedded on the cards, which will be used in cell phones, portable digital players and other devices. IDC reports over 87 million phones with memory cards were sold in 2004 and forecasts 164 million will be sold this year. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based SanDisk said the first title released using the new technology will be the Rolling Stones' album "A Bigger Bang." The album will be sold on 256MB Gruvi Music cards featuring TrustedFlash for $39.95 starting in November; the card will also contain locked versions of other Rolling Stones albums that may be unlocked through a PC or mobile phone.
