Samsung’s Latest Stylish Memory Cards Are Like The Sexy Underwear You’ll Never Show Off
In one of the most interesting technology moves I’ve ever seen, Samsung has today introduced what they call, “Stylish” memory cards.

Plus, they also promise the ability to transfer 1GB of information in as little as 42 seconds. Each card also features a brushed metal chassis. Additionally, they can are guaranteed to survive up to 24 hours in water, withstand the force of a 1.6 ton vehicle (3,200 lbs), and resist up to 10,000 Gauss (slightly less than the power of a medical imaging magnet).

In conclusion, depending on where your brand loyalty lies, you may want to snag one of these highly recommended items.
