So we all have issues and mine happens to be cool stuff, Name Brands especially !
I am currently running a 256mb CF card and want to buy a 256 Magic Gate Memory Stick.
I'm a newbie so I hope this isn't a dumb question. Does the CF card drain more power than the Memory Stick from the Clie battery ? Does the capacity of either card (i.e.: 256mb/512mb etc.) have any bearing on Battery drainage/usage ?
Let me know your experience (with your Clie !!!!)

No difference in drainage between different sizes. Traditionally CF drains more than MS.

I have both MS and CF in NX70, and I do find things drain quickly, but it could be subjective.

You always use the Card for accessing big files, like MP3 and videos, so, no matter what card are you using, this will always drain your battery very quick.

The opinion is that the CF drains your battery faster, but because i dont really take a look at my battery while using a CF or the MS i cant tell.
