"Lexar Media, Inc., a leading designer, developer and marketer of award-winning high-performance digital media and accessories, today announces the shipment of 2GB 40 X-speed Professional Series CompactFlash cards. The superior 40 X-speed cards are guaranteed to be capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 6MB/s, and may operate up to a maximum write speed of 7MB/s or more. The 2GB Type I cards are expected to have a retail price of $699.99. The large capacity cards were developed primarily for professional photographers who often prefer to shoot large image files, such as TIFF and RAW, and have a need for high-speed, high capacity memory cards."
This is a great! It probably also explains the drop in prices in the 1 GB and lower range - the market always prepares itself for new high-end products. 2 GB...drool...although I'm finding that for most things, 512 MB is a great size to have. Except when I'm travelling that is - then I can fill up any size card.
