Toshiba introduces write-once SD cards

Toshiba has announced the launch of a new type of flash storage which is either a huge step forward… or back. The company’s new Write-Once SD card can store up to 1GB of content. But you can only load it up once. After that you can’t erase or rewrite the card. In other words, Toshiba has just re-invented the CD-R….

Big things in small packages: Lexar launches 64GB, 128GB SDXC cards
