6 GB of Compact Flash Storage - Only $4499.95! Order Today! :-)
What's to say? It's 6 GB of storage, it's Type II, and it's $4499.95 USD. And I bet Andrew "Master of Mayhem" Farkas has already ordered two of them. :lol: [Affiliate]

Still too small. 
Can't wait til we get more storage for cheap. At least small steps like this let us know it's coming.

Surely you mean only $4499.95, you do have to make it sound cheap 
Just a little bit pricy for me, maybe I'd go for it for $4495.95 though :-)

If there was some way I could easily use the extra space on my Apple iPod with my iPaq then I would be extremely happy! A 40GB iPod with Bluetooth or USB connection would be wonderful, and much cheaper than this $4500 beastie.
There cannot surely be very many people who need the extra space that badly - even professional photographers.

I'll save Jason the trouble and behave for once.
**HOLY <bleep>!!!** 8O 8O 8O
Who in their right mind needs 6 gigabyte of storage???? If you do then you need to find a support group!
And it costs $4500! forty-five-hundred-dollars! I can buy three brand spanking new top-of-the-line laptops for that!!

I seem to recall someone once saying that noone would ever need more than 640KB of RAM.
Guess I'm in desparate need of a support group.

Well, my current desktop machine has a 80 Gig disk and I'm already struggling for storage space, so I plan to purchase a 120 Gig disk next month. Granted, there's a lot of video on that platters and you could quite reasonably argue I'm not in my right mind, but I higly suspect I'm not alone.
Would you still be so upset if the price tag was $ 449.95?
I guess in two or three years, 4 Gig flash cards are going to be every bit as common as today's 256 Meg ones. We'll see.
Cheers,
Rok
