Remember in 95 when a 1gb hard drive cost over 200 and video cards only had 1mb ram _____ From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Djd Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 10:25 PM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Potential new digital Voice Recorder/MP3 player A 12 gig flash card costs one thousand dollars? I can get an I river for a lot less than that that holds 40 gigs of material! I shutter to think what a 40 gig flash card would cost. Maybe you'll be right in that flash cards will be the future, and maybe you won't. But if you are, those cards are going to have to come down in price big time. And when they do, there will be probably the 20 gig one that is up near a thousand. That still gives the edge to the Iriver 340 at 40 gigs for (and this is what I saw it for it could be cheaper) about 300 dollars. Looks like this flash card concept has a ways to go. For just books, it might be awesome, but not as an mp3 player for music and tons of albums. **** If you're tired of hearing the same old songs on the radio, feel free to check out my internet radio show The Djd Invasion.
