Flash-Memory Bargains Bloom
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 12:00 PM
"Want extra flash memory for your MP3 player, digital camera or PDA? You're in luck. Prices are dropping fast, thanks to heated competition between makers. And high-capacity products--holding up to 4GB--will soon debut. How much can you save? At the beginning of 2002, 256MB Secure Digital cards sold for roughly $200; forthcoming 512MB and 1GB SD cards (expected by this fall) will carry suggested retail prices of $170 and $330, says Gartner analyst Joe Unsworth."
Nothing but good news for consumers who want big memory cards! I wish that they'd keep producing smaller cards though and make the costs really low. I'd be interested in picking up a six pack of 16 MB cards that I could use like floppy disks and not really care if I lost them.
