Art,rll & Thread: The following is from Steves-digicams.com. The war of Techno definitions continues.128Mb vs 128MB. Big difference, and the cost of "$30 in quantities of 1000" is in reference to Oems who make the cards not for the consumer market. Apples and Apples is being confused with Apples and Oranges. <<Intel turned up the heat in the growing flash memory market today by introducing one of the highest-capacity chips available. The 128Mb StrataFlash card by Intel not only can hold more data than its predecessors, it can retrieve information at a faster rate. Intel's continued move into the flash memory market is symbolic partly of the company's effort to diversify its product line. While Intel's chips still earn the majority of the revenue, the company has moved into other areas, such as graphics chipsets, as well as expanded emphasis on less-well-known product lines.>> <<The StrataFlash chips won't be available until September with an expected price of $29.90 in lots of 1,000.>> <<Note: That is 128Mb (megabit) not 128MB (megabyte) - and the price quoted above is the price per chip to the OEMs who make the actual flash cards.>> Ron C.
