SWEET FANCY MOSES: In only 9 years, phone memory cards have grown from 128MB to 128GB

(Before It's News)

Moore's Law hardest hit.

Emerging in 2005 out of the need for a memory card small enough to fit inside a mobile phone, microSD cards have rapidly matured to their current status of global ubiquity and adoption. This year's Mobile World Congress marks a significant milestone in their growth, with SanDisk introducing the first 128GB microSD card. That will store a thousand times more photos, videos, and GIFs than the original maximum of 128MB.

At such large sizes, microSD cards are approaching the typical storage you'll get on an SSD-equipped laptop or tablet, which will surely contribute to the ongoing erosion of the distinction between mobile devices and PCs…

I'm not sure if I have this right, but I believe my first real PC had 128KB of RAM and a whopping 10MB hard drive. And it cost about $5,700 if memory serves.
