Perhaps what's holding back such devices is storage. SD/CF capacities are growing but are still nowhere near what's required for a sizeable lossless library.
Microdrives are bigger but nowhere near big enough. You still need a 3.5" HDD to store that 100 GB+ worth of data. And for some, one HDD isn't enough. 500 GB drives are the practical maximum now, although 750 GB drives have been released. However some want 1 TB+. You just can't fit that much storage into a small device, not even one 3.5" HDD right now. ...yet! I keep hearing persistent rumours of holographic storage media that may make this possible, but so far it's vapourware. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
