1- I do not wish to have a hard drive
That doesn't make any sense. These little hand held viewers have
hard drives inside them when they get up around 10 Gig. Just the
other day I asked a tech person when we were going to have 1Terabyte
flash drives and he said probably never. Apparently engineers are
finally reaching the limit of miniaturization of components around 8
Gig. Physics rears its ugly head. Interesting.
Well, the new iPod touch has up to 16GB flash drives. And at least
one vendor announced 64GB flash drives a while ago (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130165-c,harddrives/article.html
). Physics doesn't seem to be slowing them down, so don't give up hope
for a 1TB flash drive, yet. I'm not. ;)
