More on Jeff Wong _ From: eet.com dated 05/07/99 Excerpt: "Putting USB on CompactFlash carries a number of advantages for consumers. In downloading applications from a PC to a camera or MP3 player, or uploading images from a camera's flash-storage devices, users need not turn on both the PC and consumer device. "They don't have to drain the precious battery power," said Jeff Wong, director of marketing at Lexar Media. "They can simply take the USB-enabled CompactFlash card out of a consumer device and connect it to a USB cable on a PC. The PC automatically recognizes the new card as an external drive — D:, for example. There are some intrinsic disadvantages, however. SanDisk's Chan raised the questions of compatibility and upgradability, when the USB spec is updated from 1.0 to 2.0, for example."
