Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and some local IT firms will soon mass produce a new type of memory card called “μcard”, which will be unveiled during the Taipei International Electronics Show (Taitronics) from October 8-12, according to sources.

The cards will be able to transfer 120MB of data per second, 10 times faster than Secure Digital (SD) memory cards, sources said. Additional features for the new card include USB 2.0 compatibility, low power, fast I/O and a compatible interface with existing memory cards, the sources added.

The card will target applications including PCs, handsets, digital still cameras, digital video recorders and MP3 players. Mass production for the new card will begin in early 2005.

Sick, a flashcard size mp3 player with 2TB of storage.. Drool.
Imagine that in a PDA with your entire video collection..

Well consider the following...according to that page, the max capacity of compact flash is 128GB. The highest compact flash card developed so far that I am aware of is 12GB and that costs nearly $15,000
