This is a tech blog afterall, so let's talk about some cool tech.

Yeah I know, I say this is a tech blog but then ramble on about music and movies. Well, back on topic there's a little tid bit out there you should be aware of. Advances have begun to push greater capacity in flash memory and of course you can never have too much memory. One of the things that has kept the iPod on the top of the device heap is that its hard drive gets bigger and bigger and the case gets smaller and smaller . Memory storage prices have also gotten smaller over the years. A lot of us normally carry a laptop everywhere with us so we can download those tons of photos taken on our digital cameras. That's all changed with the debut of Seagate's 4 and 8-GB CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive.

These drives are lightening fast 3600-RPM with 2-Mbyte cache, will fit Compact Flash and type II media slot cameras (Canon-Nikons) and will set you back $100-$200. If you live out of your camera or find that the 1 GB cards just won't hold enough then this is for you.
