Hi. What other cards other than cf cards are you thinking of? The CF cards
certainly have dropped in price from when I bought my first 1 gb card less
than a year ago. Sam's club is a great place to look. You can even get a 1
gb SD card for 70 dollars or so from them.

However, to say they haven't come down in price is absurd!
I was able to find a one gig card for $135 in 2003. However, I can now get
a two gig card for under $110.----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Howell" <n3byy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

So ah, what's your point. Are you saying these cards are less reliable, are they not suited for this purpose, and no one was saying its a pda. I'm just pointing out there there are less expensive alternatives to the flash card which as far as I can tell hasn't really come down in price compared to other technologies for the cost. Matter of fact and I could very well be wrong, the cf cards are more expensive in terms of capacity for cost than any other card on the market.
Hi Scott and list:
The card you're thinking of is most likely SD cards which are now being used in the HumanWare BrailleNote Mpower. They work fine in the PDA arena. Just don't lose sight of the fact that a bookport isn't a PDA.
