    The price of Compact Flash really took a nose dive in the last month. You can now get a Sandisk Ultra II 1 GB solid state card for under $100.

  3. I'm not so sure on Space Elevator Prizes Proposed · · Score: 4, Informative
    Before jumping to conclusions on how this is not possible, go ahead and pick up a copy of The Space Elevator Book.

    They do have the material, carbon nano tubes. They just can't be made to the length needed, yet. They have ideas on how to avoid the space junk.

    According to the Space Elevator Book it will only take ~ 5 Billion to build the first one. After their IPO, they can afford it!

  5. Re:Why not sell prints? on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 1
    Gee, I dunno, maybe because most of the public doesn't have access to a high quality large format printer?

    Why not use an on-line printing service?

    According to the road map, Sync is listed under tems to resolve before a 2.0 release. If it were me, I'd be putting that higher on the priority list. Most people sync with a Palm or other type of device.

    This whole limit of computers is kind of redundant if they let you burn audio cd's. Aren't most people burning an audio cd, and then ripping to MP3 from there?

  22. Re:A new floppy drive on Microdrive Technology Rebounds Thanks to iPod Mini · · Score: 1
    Even retail it makes sense right now.

    4gb Microdrive =~ $500
    4gb solid state CF card =~ $1200

    So, people don't want to piss awayh $700 bucks.. makes sense to me.

  23. Reuse on Microdrive Technology Rebounds Thanks to iPod Mini · · Score: 3, Informative
    Thus far, no one has been able to get a vanilla CF card to work with the Ipod Mini.

    Scores of people, however are putting in a smaller CF card or older microdrive in the Muvo^2. This is generally a digital photographer who has a bunch of these cards anyway, and with a 4gb one, their old 256 lexar or 340 ibm microdrive can be spared.

    So, for $199 people are getting a 340mb muvo2 and a 4gb microdrive. Much less than the cost of a 4gb microdrive retail (~$500)

  24. Wrong sir, wrong!! on Microdrive Technology Rebounds Thanks to iPod Mini · · Score: 4, Informative
    I have been following this very closely, and this is highly documented on dpreview. The microdrives In the Ipod Mini are NOT The same ones as are retail or in the muvo2.

    The ones out of the Ipod Mini have a very large barcode and so far there has not been a single documented case of that microdrive working in any digital camera anywhere.

    If you can provide a link to instructions on how to get the ipod mini's microdrive to work in other devices, you will be my new best friend!
