ALMOST buy a car!! Imagine going to a bank and trying to get a loan for cf card, first they'd think you said 'cf car'. By the time you got 1/10th of it paid off, there would be bigger and cheaper ones out.... I guess if you were sending your clie on a trip around the solar system to collect data on gravitational anomalies....

Yes I need a 30 yr mortgage for a cf card. Hey, interests rates are pretty low now!

$7.5k CF cards would only be useful to big companies who need it for some special purpose or for really rich people who wouldn't think twice about it. It'll come WAY down in price. Things like this always start out as expensive as hell.

sheesh 6gig... I may never use my ipod again... but then again, my ipod was only $299. For anything that attaches to my Clie for $7.5k better be able to walk the dog and mow the lawn too. :P

well, first you'd need fat32, then a patch to show no more then 4gb at once, so no, out of the box, no way
