Pretec will also offer various adapters for C-Flash such as SD, miniSD, MMC, RS-MMC and USB". . . C-Flash has also been submitted to MMCA to be considered as the next small form factor standard of MMC. According to Gartner Dataquest report, MMC will become #1 form factor of flash memory card in 2005, with market share projection of 34% (SD 30% and memory Stick 20%)." So, after Sandisk's Transflash announcement, comes Pretec's C-Flash and it has to be said that the specifications look good. SD/MMC have clearly won the current round of card standards, but the battle is in full swing for the next smaller next generation of cards. Some have said that incompatibility is threatening our digital lifestyles, but I'm sure we'll all be fine with a universal 242-in-1 card reader. :roll: I know that a new format is required that is physically smaller than SD. I just wish that manufactures would just agree on ONE standard! New media card standards just keep coming. This is WAY past ridiculous! :evil: __________________ Professional photographer in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire specialising in Wedding photography, Events & Portraits
