Hi G ... The idea seems nice, but I'm not convinced that the durability of the card doesn't suffer. I'll let the early adapters use 'em for a while. Speaking for myself, I don't use a separate card reader except perhaps when using a friend's computer. The machine here has a built in multi-card reader, which is very convenient. It takes up one of the floppy disk slots.
1GB is fine for me right now as well. I've a couple of 512mb cards, and am looking to add one or two 1GB cards. For now I think I'm going to grab an 80X Transcend. Price/Performance ratio seems pretty good @ New Egg. That should DL in a reasonably quick fashion. Since posting about the Pretec card, I noticed a few other brands have, or will have out soon, 4GB cards with about 150X speed.
