Smaller, Lighter, Flash Storage

Fuji is now pushing yet another storage card format, especially for digital film. xD-Picture Cards are being touted as really small, really light, and really fast. My eye popped at the 8GB upper limit, with 5MB/sec read times and 3MB/sec write times. That's USB scales, I think, in something the size of coinage. And screw pictures, that's a whole lot of digital news and MP3s. The iPod could get even smaller!
