Hi Julius,

I was surprised to read your statement that larger flash RAM
cards consume more power than small ones. Since flash RAM is
non-volatile, it doesn't require any refresh power -- why would
4G consume any more power than 128M? Is this really true? I
haven't observed any differences in play time on different size
cards. I was under the impression that standby current was
little more than 1 microamp.

If it is true that bigger cards use more power than smaller
ones, I'd love to know exactly why.
