I know its a n00bie question... yadda yadda. What are the advantages of CF flash?

I just bought my NX70 last month and I love it. I hear alot about CF drivers and all that. I know that they are cheaper than mem sticks, but what are the additional benefits of using them for storage?

Until we know the full capability of the CF driver that question is difficult to answer.

None, Lets say you upgraded to a NX from a handera330, and you had some cf mem cards for it. You would want to be able to use them, Right?

I think another advantage is that it is used in more devices than MS.

Well, there is also cost. A 1GB CF card can be had for $250, while a 1GB MS Pro card goes for $640. See the price difference? I'm really hoping that the drivers work with the built in programs (which ayasin has mentioned Eruware has been working on) so I can have a 1GB card loaded with music. My 128MB MS card can hold only about 4 hours of music at 64Kb, and I'd like to have more than that. Plus, I could almost hold an entire DVD converted to watch on my Clie with a 1GB CF card. With the $250 price, you could also pick up three 1GB CF cards for about the same price as a single 1GB MS Pro card.

I love beta testing this app. It works great!
