37gb for about $400? Gee, I paid more than that for a 20mb drive about ten years ago. As for the microdrive, even though it fits in cameras designed for certain flash memories, it uses lots and lots more power (has two motors, to begin with). While it is an engineering marvel, I'd sooner keep a few SanDisk flash cards for a camera, portable computer, or wireless phone with data access capabilities. Seems to me that, particularly when you are using portable equipment that can get bounced around or jolted, you are better off with storage that uses less power and has no moving parts.
