Ah, great to see these announcements. We knew that we would see these Handheld PC design-in announcements. With Microsoft mapping out the use of CompactFlash&#153 in Handheld PCs, we knew design-ins were VERY likely. Jerome, thank you very much for tabulating the design-ins. Actually the Compaq C-Series PC Companion design-in was for the old typeII PCMCIA form factor. I was at Wolf Camera in Palo Alto Sunday night. I looked at the digital cameras. All but one had a CompactFlash&#153 slot. They were selling SanDisk brand name CompactFlash&#153 cards separately for the 5 or so digital cameras that use the CompactFlash. The saleswoman told me when I asked that "its extra memory for all of the digital cameras." I said, "all of them?" She said, "yes, oh, I guess the Toshiba camera uses a different one." The point is that the CompactFlash is considered the new digital film in camera stores. Here's the good part, they were SOLD OUT of the Kodak digital cameras. I think they were selling out the old Kodak DC25. The prices on the SanDisk memory cards were high. The 4MB SanDisk CompactFlash&#153 card was selling for $119 and the 15MB card was $179. Rex
