Thanks, Dan-san. I wonder when that article was written, as the next
line is a doozy: "Currently 512 MB is the maximum capacity for these
cards though larger capacities will be out soon."

An article written just a year ago in PC world
http://tinyurl.com/yqe7w said that they expected 1GB cards later that
month (Jan, 2005), while the SanDisk website currently has them up to
2GB today http://tinyurl.com/78v3k.

I'd say SanDisk is ahead of the curve of Moore's Law.
