Jason,

A better idea might be to e-mail suggestions rather than to complain. For example, a "Guide for the Use of Removable Memory" could be included in packaging for devices with CF slots which would outline topics such as flash memory architecture (how it is essentially a solid state floppy drive), general use (don't remove the card when it is being written to or read,...), available and projected capacities(and the upcoming CF type II slots), compatibility issues (forward, backward and across platforms), power consumption (dispel misbeliefs about heavy battery drainage. note: Windows CE automatically displays a warning about power consumption once a device is plugged into the CF slot. This message pertains primarily to card modems and the like, not CF per se.), and cost effectiveness.

This would be a handy reference and a great way of introducing CF and MMC to consumers who may have many unanswered questions about CompactFlash cards.

Oh yeah, and make sure the SanDisk and CFA logos are on the front cover. Suggestions for color theme...red&yellow&white.
