Hello Doug, Many compactflash manufacturers have not gone to the g standard, due to the fact that there are, in many cases, limitations with hardware, in particular the compactflash bus. the connection will only go as fast as the compactflash bus. I am currently looking into whether the BrailleNote PK hardware will support going to G.
When the cards are released, we can then take appropriate action provided our hardware supports going to the g standard. Remember that there will be sighted users with pocket PCs who won't be able to get the full speed when using this type of card upon release.
