I appreciate that this forum is about nature recording, not new
electronics. I have just one more tidbit about future recording
devices.
Walter K. comments from time to time that he is suspicious about the
durability of compact flash memory as a recording medium. I've been
looking for information on that subject, and recently found a report
of a photojournalist who deliberately left two Compact Flash modules
in his pants pockets and sent them through the wash. After a full
wash and dry cycle their labels had come off, but both modules still
worked and still retained the images they had before the washing.
They continue to work months later. For more, see URL

I'm still looking for data regarding flash memory's vulnerability to
static discharge.
