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."
I've no idea when it was written, but I agree -- seems a bit dated. I have a
1gig SD in my brand-spankin' new Optio, so...
I just googled "media card differences" (no quotes). Found a bunch of sites
that said essentially the same thing.
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.
I'd guess that any company wanting to be successful in selling doo-dad
electronica would have to be.
I wonder if Moore and GM worked together on the whole planned obsolescence
thing?
