I assume mobile phone examinations will start to see the introduction of mobile devices with human thumbs connected to them being brought into the Lab. Testing the thumbs for evidence wont be a problem. DNA and fingerprinting is common for mobile devices and their associated SIM/USIM/Memory Cards.

SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Makes DroidX More Comparable

By now, you should have seen the crazy DROID X marketing blitz hitting the TV/Radio/Internet/Blogsphere and if you have not updated your smartphone to the new iPhone 4, you'd be interested to know this.  Droid X is a powerful little device built by Motorola, with 1GHz processor, super large LCD and 8MP pixel, its a worthy contender to challenge the Cupertino empire.  However, by default, Droid X is only shipped with a 8GB onboard memory and an extra 16GB microSDHC card (a whopping 24GB) which is a perfectly good competition against the 16GB iPhone 4; what if you need more storage than that, like the 32GB iPhone 4 has to offer? Well, thanks to SanDisk, when you purchase a Droid X, you can pick up a 32GB microSDHC card for $99 (otherwise cost $149), that is a whopping 40GB of phone storage w/ an extra 16GB of microSDHC on the side for swappable content.

Lets do the math:
iPhone 4 (32GB) = $299
Droid X (8GB w/16GB Card) $199 + SanDisk 32GB Card $99.99 = $299

Thanks to SanDisk, Droid X is now positioned more competitively, if not better!
