June 26, 2000 -- It resembles something out of Dick Tracy. Panasonic's SV-SD70 MP3 player, due out in Japan at the end of this month, is small enough to fit on your wrist. Using the secure SD memory card developed by SanDisk, Toshiba and Panasonic parent company Matsushita Electric, it will be able to hold well over an hour of music, depending on the capacity of the card and the level of compression used to encode the music.
The introduction is a part of an initiative, announced last month by Matsushita Electric, to begin production of SD Memory Cards and SD Memory Card compatible devices. On June 30, the company will introduce (to the Japanese market) the SV-SD70, as well as an SD Memory Card reader/writer, and both 64MB and 32MB versions of the SD Memory Card. The reader/writer connect to PCs through a USB port, allowing users access to MP3s already stored on their computers.
The SV-SD70 paves the way for other devices using the SD format. The first of these devices, in the form of a headset, will be another MP3 player, the SV-SD01. It's slated for July 10 availability. The company plans to use the SD format in other products including digital video cameras and cellular phones.
Though no official announcement has been made, Panasonic spokesperson Kurt Praschak has said that the company plans to release products using the SD Memory Card to the U.S. market sometime later this year. He notes, however, that these products will not be the same as those released in Japan. Rather, he says, they will be products designed specifically for U.S. consumers.
