There is a market opportunity for a card holder with, as you suggest, a GPS, or possibly an RDIF, locator built in. An increase to 300Mbps would be paradise and I checked the URL and that is what they suggest. It really will be a Brave New World.

BTW @ CES they were talking about keeping the same interface but exppecting to increase transfer/bandwidth to 300Mbps, not 200Mbps. http://crave.cnet.co.uk/accessories/0,39101000,49300513,00.htm So, that's a total storage ability & bandwidth far beyond anything Blu-ray storage can offer, even those lab-specials the 200gb & 400gb disc - s'funny to see the pro-Blu-ray boys turn into Luddites over anything not Blu, eh?

So, that’s a total storage ability & bandwidth far beyond anything Blu-ray storage can offer, even those lab-specials the 200gb & 400gb disc – s’funny to see the pro-Blu-ray boys turn into Luddites over anything not Blu, eh?
