4Gb CF Card Announced

Posted by Hemos on from the bigger-bigger-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Lexar has today announced that it now shipping a 4 GB 40x Compact Flash card. The card's claim to fame is the ability to store 600 RAW images taken with a 6 megapixel digital camera. This card also features Lexar's WA (Write Acceleration) technology which can improve performance further with WA enabled cameras. Because this card is larger than 2 GB, you will need a camera which is FAT32 compliant. This card is available now at the heady price of $1,499 ($0.37/MB). It looks like Lexar has managed to be faster then Hitachi (Former IBM storage division) with their 4Gb Microdrive."

    Loose means not attached firmly. You can wear loose clothing, it would probably be somewhat baggy. Or perhaps you have a screw loose.

    Lose means to no longer possess. You lost something, like 'How could you lose the keys to my car!?"

    It is quite clear that you don't know the difference, you did it like eight times in four posts...

    Thank you for trying harder.

    What I'd like to see is a convenient way to download pix from a digital camera directly to an iPod, from where I could then transfer them to a laptop or desktop. There needn't be a way to actually see the pix on the iPod, just a way to get them in and out so that I can clear (or back up) the pix on a CF card while travelling without having to have a laptop with me at all times.
