The only problem with my psp i have is its max capacity of 2gb, this is soon to be resolved and thus making my Ipod redundant :multi: A couple of 8gb sticks is more than enough for my needs. And seeing as though 2gb are going for half retail price on ebay, they shouldnt be too pricey either ;)

This is exactly what the PSP was lacking - a decent storage capacity.

Now i'm a little miffed that i sold mine, but i needed the cash i guess. :bah:

The PSP would make a really slick alternative to the iPod in the car - bigger screen would make it the ideal music player for your car - so it needs a car dock, and a decent Music utility too :)

With chips like that - why bother with hard drives?

Well if these chips really are non-volatile, then no reason at all :)

Of course access times are important as well...current hard drives can be quite speedy

The Quantum-Optical technology has a minimum sustained write speed of 6 gigabytes (GB) per second and a read speed of 8 GB per second.

doesen't sound exactly slow ;)

But no doubt these are far from mass production - plus it wont fit in my psp ;)

The retial price of sonys sticks are fairly pricey but as i said, they're going for hlaf that on ebay.

If sony gets its act together, I have a feeling the next generation psp will be the only gadget i'll need

:lol: yeah not so slow. However, there's no interface capable of supporting that type of speed. Even processor sockets are 6.4 GB/s (socket 478)

I browsed that site a little though, and it looks as though they're making some of the cards compatible with normal IDE pins. Pity IDE maxes out at 133 MB/s
