"One of the hurdles facing new technology like digital cameras is the confusion over storage. Flash memory cards don't necessarily fit every device, and you need an adapter to use them with a PC. There is a battle brewing to establish a de facto standard for portable storage. Sony is making a big push with its Memory Stick RAM cards, which it is beginning to install in cameras, PDAs, and MP3 players. Sony's Sticks currently hold up to 64 MB, and they are fast, but costly. Another media contender is Iomega's Clik disks: one-inch square disk drives that are faster than floppy disks an hold 40MB each. Clik is still evolving in terms of the drive forms that can read the disks, but at least one digital camera already uses them. Clik's current storage cost per megabyte is roughly one-third that of the Memory Stick. " currents.net
