SimpleTech Announces 8GB Compact Flash Card

Posted by timothy on from the priced-just-for-nasa dept.

alterego writes "Digital Photography Review is reporting that SimpleTech has announced 2, 4, 5 and 8GB Type II Compact Flash Cards utilizing its patented IC Tower stacking technology. This comes just a month after Hitachi announced its 4GB HD in under an inch, and less than one year after Lexar announced the first 4 GB CF card, marking a huge leap in drive density. And at only $5,999 it is sure "to meet budget and performance requirements.""

    Why? Because we all want DRM'd music? Because we all have super-sensitive hearing which can detect the differences in music encoded at 44kH and some higher frequency? Because we really need albums longer than 72 minutes? I don't understand why DVD Audio should ever take off.

    "If that's the sort of stuff you're after, you'd be better off using some of that $5,999 to get yourself the real thing!"
