memory modules???
What kind-

DDRAM? 2GB of that is currently about twice the $80 price they quoted, takes more space, sucks more power, and forgets everything when the power is off.

Flash memory? 2GB of that costs close to $400 (5 x the price), and is not even as fast as a hard drive.

Bottom line- these tiny hard drives fill an important niche and it's exciting to see the $/G ratio (and the G/volume ratio) improving so quickly.

Now, if somebody would notice this, and build me a Pocket PC with 128M of RAM (doesn't have to be battery backable) and one of these, and sell it for $300, I'd LOVE to buy one!
