Sony has announced a new one-inch Microdrive available in 4GB and 2GB sizes. The 4GB "RHMD4G" - 279 dollars & the 2GB "RHMD2G" - 179 dollars.
So now you can take more pictures and not have to worry about storage for a few more mintues. When I see stuff like this I wonder why the Treo 650 for example could not have 2 built in 4GB hard drives. I mean these things are small enough to fit into the treo. Both cards are compatible to the Compact Flash+ Type II Standard. With a PC adapter and the Microdrive can also be used in devices that have a PC card type II slot (Windows Me and 2000 or XP are required for use with PC).
