Right now its a high speed class 6 card which retails for about $20. Figure 100% markup on retail, $10. Figure in Quanta's buying power and the cheap version of that card and I'd say $7 isn't too far off. At the rate SDHC cards are dropping though it could even be less. OTOH, A new round of consumer HD video recorders are starting to come out that use Class 6 SDHC media as the recording medium. So short term this might cause the price to spike before volumes catch up. -- Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
