According to Cedar, "The market for mobile phones with storage-intensive features, such as the ability to play and record video, play music and take high-resolution digital photos, is growing rapidly. Jeff has been instrumental in helping SanDisk become the number one provider of storage cards for this strategic market. As this market continues to grow worldwide, we believe SanDisk will remain well positioned as people discover how to ‘wake up' the features of their phones with the addition of large capacity storage cards."
