I feel the same way. You have to admit, though, a 32 or 64 gb SDcard or thumb drive, or even built into the BP itself, is quitean exciting prospect. As it is the new BP sounds like a greatdevice, but not worth the price of a new unit; my current one hasbeen through a lot and still works like a charm.


Have a great day,
Alex

prices may fall, but they'll have to fall an awful lot before

I'll consider

one. Let's go with the BP2 as it's coming. I don't want to wait

five

years.

I have heard that this new type of card, based in a new type of
Flash memory, will be quite expensive at first and will be
released next year (though as a laptop hard drive substitute and
not a media card). It runs, in an article last year at least, at
a very high price that escapes me now. A 1.8-inch flash-based HD
with this technology was 32gb for, I think, around $6000. I
expect the prices to fall, as they always do with electronics,
and it is really exciting.

Have a great day,
Alex

That's certainly what I'd want APH to do. But I'm not them, so

who knows

what'll happen. When is this new type of card going to be out,

and at what

price?

Hi all. Was looking around on flashmemorystore.com today, and it

looks like

a new type of sd card is out, it's called sdhc, I think the hc

stands for

high capasity. These cards will be able to go up to 32 gb. Now

for the bad

news, they are not backward compatible with current sd cards. I

guess now

aph needs to make a decision, do you go with the current sd

cards which will

most likely be phased out, or do you hold up the release and

support the new

type of card. Admitedly, I'm not sure what I would do if the

decision was

mine, probably hold up the release and support the new type of

sd card.

Should be interesting to see what happens.
