Of course you need the help of a slim terminal with a 2.4-inch screen to play videos and listen to tunes. A two-gigabyte memory chip is installed in the credit card, and a four-gigabyte memory chip is in the terminal, allowing the product to store up to six gigabytes of data.

Users are advised to save important numbers and confidential files in the credit card because it's protected with a PIN number, and other files to the terminal. Including the terminal, the product costs W230,000 (US$1=W1,029).
