1 gig MS
I'm impressed how small they can make these cards, and seeing a 1 gig available renews my faith in the SD medium.
RE: 1 gig MS
Not the Sony *I* know. They're pretty proud of the Memory Sticks.
Eventually the price would come down somewhat, but that would take some sweet time.
But- 2G in a handheld! Wow!

Speaking of SD radios, has there ever been a product other than the Panasonic SD Radio? It was $1200+, a little much for me.

BIG sd chips
Seriously, other than maps for GPS, why would someone need 1 GB on an SD chip, since most palm apps are 50k?

RE: BIG sd chips
I'm with you on that. I only have 4 versions and the greek/hebrew lexicons, but those, combined with gps maps and over 40 books, take up 90Mb of my current 128Mb card.
RE: BIG sd chips
Where did you find the Strong's and H/G Lexicons? And do they integrate with the Bible software you have? One of the main reasons I still lug a laptop around is for the use of quickverse, and especially the reference books it has. It would be great to have all that functionality on my handheld - might even get me to upgrade my handheld! Thanks.

RE: BIG sd chips
With a Palm Tungsten T, Pocket Tunes (www.pocket-tunes.com), and a 1GB SD card, you're well on your way to having an iPod in your handheld, at least in terms of capacity.

Where's the WiFi memory cards?
Where are they? I would also be curious to see if they come out with high-capacity memory cards with 802.11b.
The Tungsten would be a real treat with a 1GB SD card and WiFi in the one slot.

RE: Where's the WiFi memory cards?
Two CF slots please?
Cheap, all the peripherals, and cheap!
Don't expect we'll ever see it.
Right now have dual slot Handera model, but nothing else with CF. If you put a peripheral in the CF slot, you have to use the more expensive SD for memory.
Probably never going to happen.
RE: Two CF slots please?
Why 2 CF slots in particular?
RE: Two CF slots please?
Then, as stated, you get one slot for peripherals, cheap, plentiful, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO peripherals, WiFi, Cameras, USB?, is there anything that is not available CF that SD does have? Then you have the other for the cheapest largest memory format anywhere. Imagine a 4 megapixel video/still camera with flash in one slot (think we'll ever get THAT with SD?) and a 6 gig Memory card in the other. Or a 6 GIG HD (think we will ever get SD sized hard disks?) in one and a 1 gig flash memory card in the other for faster access and lower power use. You could keep your movies on the HD and move them to the CF to run from there with the HD shut off.
Stuff like that.
Doesn't matter. Almost certainly ain't gonna go.
RE: Two CF slots please?
RE: Two CF slots please?
Of course this on top of the SD slot in the iPaq itself (if it's a recent model), and you've got a tri-slot device.
How about a CF and a SD slot?

RE: MS Mistake , SD Mistake
This is just a follow-on of the RS-MMC card (RS as in Reduced Size) annouced by Hitachi last November.

While it went unannounced here, it was reported on Brighthand.com
RE: MS Mistake , SD Mistake
For this to be like Sony's rotten deal, the SD assoc. would have to announce that they are going to all SD mini format and the mini SD formats won't work in any current devices, even with an adapter.
Man, would you see a bunch of MAD people in here if SD/MMC were announcing that.

Why not on board memory
RE: Why not on board memory
It may be that implementing a multibit controller adds too much $$$ overhead and messes up their price points.
Thoughts?
RE: Why not on board memory
RE: Why not on board memory
I really think with flash chips getting so cheap, they should be doing this. There is just a little of it in the new Axim, and high end Ipaqs that include 20 meg of extra ROM for storage. The Sony has 10 meg of flash memory that can be used with JackFlash to store files. Lots more would be very handy.
RE: Why not on board memory
Recall that the HandEra 330 and TrgPro has a CF slot. CF is 16 bit (optionally 8).
