I grabbed one of these badboys for 15$ from hot deals... wow.. a card literally the size of my fingernail for 1gb. wouldnt an array of these be way more rad than a harddrive?

makes usb thumbdrives seem ginormous

I'm getting a 2 gigger for my enV. Then I can stop swiping my wife's ipod to work out.

Sure, if you despise good I/O performance.

What is easier to find when you need it: the needle or the haystack?

But yes, I have a 1GB for my cell phone (MP3's) which I need to load up

is this the size that goes in a razr?

Isn't the 4GB due soon?

I have a 1GB in my SYNC. I have Casino Royal, several episodes of South Park, some other misc videos and a bunch of MP3s and still have room for more.

Actually one microSD would OWN pretty much any hard drive in random IO. Including everyone's beloved 10K Raptors (and probably also any 15k drive out there too).

If you're talking linear transfer rate, then it's a different story.

Solid state memory in general isn't ready for magnetic storage replacement. Look at the early reviews of SSD HDD's, terrible for general performance and the little detail that flash memory has a limited write life cycle.
