Oh, $2,500 no doubt. :cry:

Daimaou, don't get too far ahead of yourself, that camera uses SD cards so figure 512MBs if you have a lot of money, 256MBs if you have less. And before you start getting real nuts, remember that Jason just trashed Pretec on their CF Cam and someone he quoted actually used the words "Crap" and "Unmitigated poo!" In other words, you should wait until the camera is available and/or reviewed. Hey, they don't even have a picture up on their site and they just got back from a major photo show. Can you say "Vaporware?"

? Sorry I don't Understant ? I am not talking about the quality of the product I do know that pretec is quite bad (owned a CF Modem from pretec and was not that wonderful) I am not talking neither about Camera, I am not arguing on price Neither, I just gave a raw information, and just wanted to stress that I am not putting out this info like I could put out a rabbit from a hat, I just wanted to let people Know that

-Pretect released a 6Go CF
-Due to copyright protection I am not authorized to give you the full article and I just copy and paste the part that stress my info.
-That info as been quoted from quite Famous Information provider Reuters, Down Jones & Business Wire

This CF should be announced officialy at the CeBIT this month... now As I told you I read something & found some info regarding this CF, so I thought that you will be ahppy to share this info with me.

Actually, that is a good idea. I wouldn't mind an 'inside' slot under a cover or hidden, and also an outside one for things like modems and network cards.

I somehow am skeptical of this till I see this product come out in reality. Why? Because 6GB means that you are crossing the 4GB 32 bit barrier. Now for filesystems thats no big deal since they can access things using 64 bit int's but if Flash is accessed anything like memory it would need 64 bit pointers which a lot of CPU's don't support. Okay maybe flash is always used as filesystem like only then you'd only need 64 bit integers. In which case theoretically its fine since all 32 bit CPU's can simulate 64 bit int's with a performance hit. But in reality its not that simple at all. The application has to be written specially and device drivers also have to be written for it. For example do you know that even now on Windows there are apps that can choke trying to access files greater than 4GB? WinZip for one couldn't handle 4GB files last I looked (dunno about the latest version). I am very very skeptical that Pocket PC's have device drivers or software thats been written with enough foresight to support greater than 32 bit int access to filesystem etc. Why they would have never thought you'd need anything more than 32 bits for a PDA! Yes yes these things have a way of exceeding limits but then programmers are also known to be lazy Anyway the point is Hold your horses folks! It may very well be 6GB in capacity. Just don't expect to automatically be able to access all of that on PPC's at least. Unles someone knows for sure that PPCs can.

6 GB = 450 hours of 32kb WMA 8O nonstop !

My loox would suffice for a professional radiostation This is progress.

Last time i've checked (two days ago) it still couldn't. Bit unpractical because we had zipped a large unix server to move to a windows machine
