Compactflash cards have declined by a factor of three in the past
year, and the pace of change has accelerated recently.
I saw a 128MB card advertised last week for $3 after mail-in rebate.
(128MB is enough space for almost 60 minutes of high bit-rate stereo
MP3 recording.) That's approaching the price of a minidisc! Or how
about 256MB for $10? Yowser!
More realistically, a 1GB flash card costs about $65 today, down from
$200 only a year ago. That's enough room for 90 minutes of stereo WAV
recording at 16/48, or more than 7 hours of high bit-rate MP3.
Just FYI.
