Just came back from PC Expo at the Javits CTR.,NYC. Lexar Media has USB enabled compactflash cards set to come out 8/1. All their cards will have USB software built into them. After taking your pictures you place the card into a jumpshot cable holder (about $20.00) which plugs into your USB computer port. Data transfer rates: up to 10MB per sec (to / from host) and up to 850KB /sec card to PC. Sandisk was not present at the show.

Craig and Thread, The competitors still not using flash memory also take up some real estate on the Top 200 List. It is my hope that with time some of the Palm users will get tired of the monochrome screen and gravitate toward the Casio, HP, Everex, LG Semicon, Compaq... offerings with the color screen and the WinCE operating system. Having Microsoft behind the PDA market pushing WinCE along will be a big plus for us. I continue to be impressed with Sony's market share. I believe that the introduction of affordable SLR digital cameras from Canon and Nikon (as well as Olympus, Fuji, Pentax and Minolta) will also be a plus as CF, CF type II and MMC capacities increase. We are still months (years?) away from introduction of these products and I am hoping for either multiple CF slots, PCMCIA slots or CF II slots being the dominant design-in. I would be a bit surprised if SmartMedia is incorporated in these future models of SLR cameras. Here is the remainder of the Top 200... #1) Palm V #6) Palm III #9) Palm Iiix 27) Sony Mavica MVC-FD91 46) Sony Mavica MVC-FD88 68) Sony Mavica MVC-FD81 96) Sony Mavica MVC-FD83 110) Sony Mavica MVC-FD71 129) Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 Ausdauer
