Aus,

If you select the Sandisk link on one of the pages you provided it gives a list of Sandisk products and their prices. I highlighted that list and pasted it into Excel, a little data massaging enables the $/MB to be determined and the list can then be sorted by $/MB. The results are as follows:


Price Size Type Size $/MB

The 48MB CF card is clearly the loss leader but the Type II PC cards at the 175/220/280 MB capacities are pretty good as well.
