Steve, You got a cool post today! Thanks for bringing attention to the thread (even though the post itself casts a shadow of doubt on SanDisk). The cost structure for flash isn't here yet for the MP3 market. That is your point and it is well taken. I use a 128 MB CompactFlash in my Cassiopeia. The card costs about half of what the device cost me a year ago. It suffices for everday use. In fact, it is probably overkill. But it would be too small for a long trip. A 500 MB MMC would be a better choice. That is still a few years away. I did want to say a few things about CF and MMC. Flash devices are smaller, more energy efficient and more rugged than CD players. This is particulary advantageous if you want to work out or jog with the device. Flash devices are also cool. In the end they will win out because their cool. Don't underestimate the power of cool. In a few years portable CD players and cassette Walkmen will be uncool. Ausdauer
