Elecom’s Waterproof SD Cards
OhGizmo! —
... but these are the first SDHC cards I’ve seen that are just as H20 friendly. Elecom’s new 4, 6 and 8GB Class 6 SDHC cards are completely waterproof so even if you happen to drop your non-water-friendly digital camera overboard, at least all of your vacation photos won’t be destroyed. Assuming you can retrieve the camera that is. There’s no word on pricing at this time, but you can probably expect them to run just a bit more than your standard SDHC card.

Elecom SDHC cards now in waterproof variant
Boing Boing Gadgets —
While I can't think of any gadget that would actually withstand water in its memory card slot, these new waterproof SD cards from Elecom would be good accessories for those that use their gear out on the deep blue sea — if they ever make it to our shores, that is. (Elecom is a Japanese company.)
No price yet, but they'll certainly be much more expensive than a regular card. Perhaps more expensive than a regular card and a waterproof case!

Elecom lanza tarjetas microSDHC a prueba de agua

La gente de Elecom lanzó nuevas tarjetas de memoria microSDHC a prueba de agua. Las pequeñas estarán disponibles en versiones de 4GB y 8GB, serán de clase 6 (lo que garantiza una velocidad de transferencia de 6MB/s).
Considerando que cada vez se están fabricando más y más cámaras resistentes al agua, no sería una mala idea obtener una de estas. Todavía no se sabe nada relacionado con el posible precio.

Gizmodo —
... some of us will benefit from their waterproof SDHC cards. In 4GB and 8GB sizes, the quick Class 6 (6MB/sec) memory cards promise to get wet without losing a whole vacation's worth of shots. (Or, for those who already use waterproof cameras, it could just be another level of protection.) There's no price at this time, but look for the Elecom cards on the international market this month. Importing on this piece of gear won't cause you any compatibility issues. [Elecom via Akihabara News]

Waterproof SD Card Beats Spills
