It came about a week late... ...but I promised some visibility for Pocket PC in the NY Times "Circuits" and today is the day. This is a large cover story with vivid color graphics that spells out the handheld market offerings. Binx made reference to a second article regarding tote-able memory. Message 13508434 CompactFlash is mentioned, but Zip discs, SuperDisk's and SmartMedia are depicted. I am beginning to believe that the NY Times has a problem with SanDisk given in has given us such short schrift in the past. The trend seems to be continuing. I still envision CF and other flash memory solutions as currency for the digital millennium. SanDisk will be minting this currency. Let there be no doubt. I am content to wait for the market to wake up to SanDisk and realize the awesome potential that is there. I am also looking forward to Eli's PowerPoint presentation in two weeks. Ausdauer

I forgot to include the link to JOE HUTSKO's article and quotes in The New York Times. nytimes.com "Smaller still but big on storage are compact flash cards, which are matchbook-size memory chips that behave just like disks but have no moving parts. Though compact flash cards cost more than Zip disks, the card readers themselves, which are no larger than a pack of cigarettes and are easy to carry, cost less than $50. Sandisk's flash cards start at about $35 for 8 MB and go up to about $325 for 128 MB. Compact flash cards are especially suited to people who own a digital camera that stores snapshots on compact flash cards; all you need is the card reader to use the same storage cards with your desktop computer, or an adapter to pop the flash card into the PC card slot of your notebook computer.
