Title: New chip might help CF storage
Post by: wbrisette on October 26, 2005, 09:28:30 AM

From Agere Systems financial reports (Disclosure.... I work for this company, but not in this division)...

* Introduction of the company’s first standard-product storage
system-on-a-chip for portable consumer disk drives.  Agere’s SC1200
will enable 12 gigabytes of storage in 1.0-inch disk drives, which are
expected to hit the market in 2006.

I know there are a lot of folks who dislike the microdrives, but 12 GB on a CF card is pretty exciting from the storage aspect.

12Gb and 16GB flash cards need to drop soon so the 8GB and 4GB become much cheaper  :)
