darthv506 was among several to point out a Cnet story describing a new "1.5GB HD on a 1" Platter. Samsung is releasing a sub 600 buck video camera that is "Smaller than a pack of cigarettes" featuring the drive. The drive is actually in production, and apparently goes for $65 in volume.

I think I lost my hard drive in my pocket!

This seems to be great, as long as they're more reliable than Maxtors.

With all the advances we've been seeing in CF, SD, memory stick, memory sizes, why would anyone go with a HD that takes more power to run and would degrade your battery life?
Because it's cool goddamnit!

Nobody needs to carry 20 gigs of music around in their pocket. I don't even have that much music.
Well I do!
Long live P2P!
