As technological advancements produce more sophisticated digital devices, demand for higher-performing CompactFlash is continuing to grow. "Expanding our Elite Pro line to include the 2-GB and 4-GB CompactFlash Elite Pro cards is essential to support imaging professionals with the best digital storage for their high-end cameras and devices," said Mike Kuppinger, digital media product manager, Kingston."</i><br /><br />Kingston has released two big CF cards - 2GB and 4GB in size. The pricing isn't too painful either: $219 USD for a 2GB and $500 USD for the 4GB card. There are some things coming up in the tech world that will suddenly make you long for more Flash-based storage, so the timing of this couldn't be better...

i saw a post on techbargains a few days ago for a 2 gig card for 163. i can't remeber who made the card, but it wasnt a rebate offer. But i guess the 200 and change isnt that bad seeing its kingston.

Apparently these cards are high speed as well. I saw them yesterday at Pepcom and the Kingston representatives said that these cards are actually high speed. Although, when I asked how fast they were, they quoted read and transfer rate numbers that were only slightly better than regular CF cards.

Something under NDA that I can't talk about, but it's something that made me long for the biggest storage card I could find. ;-)
