Lexar Shipping 4GB CF Card
http://www.lexarmedia.com/dynamic-frameset_newsroom.html?http://www.lexarmedia.com/newsroom/press/press_08_04_03.html
"Lexar Media, Inc. (Nasdaq: LEXR), a leading designer, developer and marketer of high-performance digital media and accessories, today announced that the company is shipping the world's first and only 4GB CompactFlash memory card. Specifically designed for professional photographers shooting hi-resolution images, the 4GB card stores about 600 images captured in RAW mode using a 6-megapixel professional camera. Amateur photographers shooting with lower resolution cameras could expect to capture as many as 45,000 JPEG images using the high capacity memory card. The actual number of images a 4GB card can store depends on the camera quality, resolution and image file selection mode."
:drool: 4GB! Forget images. Look at all the music you can put on your Pocket PC.  It is a CF-II card, so it unfortunately won't work on the HP Jornada series. It can be yours today for the incredibly low price of $1,499. 8O If you plan on using it in your camera, be sure it supports FAT32.

shoot i'd sy so but i know some people here would love one of those.... and are def gonna buy it too. Dunno when i'd need that much storage and if i did on a PPC then i'd say someone needs a dayjob! LOL.... That's just my opinion tho... i have 256MB SD now and i don't even use all of that...
for $1500 i could buy 3 Ipods or screw that... just get phat laptop instead!!! prolly get a 60GB HD and 15" screen and wi-fi and bluetooth built in as well as dvd/cdrw combo!

Is there any problem with fat 32 and WM 2003? I read somewhere that formatting with fat32 would be slower than fat 16...

No idea. Don't think you have an option though. According to http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htm 2GB is the limit of a FAT16 drive. I understand Windows XP and Windows 2000 with the latest service pack supports 4GB on a FAT16 drive. I doubt anyone cared to put that into CE 4.2 and seriously doubt that even if they did (and why would they?) CE 3.0 based PPC 2000 and 2002 wouldn't support it.

How about some screenshots? I've never seen a "Storage Card Memory" screenshot of anything above 512 MB.
How about a contest? See who can attach or insert the most memory to their Pocket PC!
Let's see...
120 GB External USB drive through CF slot...
1 GB SD card...
84.78 on Axim board...
IS 121,084.78 MB the most storage you can get on a Pocket PC?
