The 1-inch drive, which�ll also come in a 2.5GB version, should be out next month and is mainly aimed at pro digital photographers who can never have enough storage space for all those RAW image files (though we�re betting this thing will also start showing up in portable media players and maybe even camcorders and PDAs before too long" Yup, embedding these in new PPCs sounds like a good use of these cards. However at the moment 5Gb isn't sounding large enough to tempt me to pop one in my CF slot. Still, these could be compelling if the price is far lower and the capacity is far higher than equivalent Flash cards. __________________ Professional photographer in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire specialising in Wedding photography, Events & Portraits

What I care about is the possibility of these cards driving down the price of 2-4GB cards which is what I'm going to be in the market for in a few months. __________________ PDA History: Palm Pilot 5000 -> Apple Newton 2100 -> Casio E-11 -> iPaq 3650 (64MB Upgrade) -> iPaq 3700 -> Casio EM-500 -> HP Jornada 568 -> HP iPaq hx4705 www.spreadfirefox.com
