Following on the heels of Sandisk, Toshiba has announced a new SDHG card, the SD-ME016GA, which will be released in Japan in January next year. The card is due to to go on sale for about $200.

Sandisk released their 16Gb cards in September so Toshiba has a little catching up to do but the pricing looks favourable…then again, it’s a big market with plenty of space for competitors.

Toshiba also announced two SDHC cards. The SD-C16GT6 holds 16GB and will cost $200 when it hits Japanese stores in April next year. An 8GB model (SD-C08GT6) will be available in Japan for around $100 next month.

There are no dates for expected availability outside of Japan!
