You can get the same results using any of the CF+ cards, smart cards, 
etc. and a usb adapter or PC card adapter. And then you can use those 
cards in your other devices such as cameras, pdas, and so on.

A Zio adapter is only $30 or so and then add the cost of whatever card 
you want. You can get a 1 Gig IBM micro drive, a real hard drive about 
the size of a matchbook, for about $250+.
