Way, way back when I was in college, I wrote about a 64GB flash drive being made available. At the time, it seemed like a world of portable storage, but the price made it prohibitive. How prohibitive, you might ask? It's more expensive than a computer, that's for sure. Check that post [which goes back about 5 years here.
I went to a tech store, Newegg.com who sell similar products from the same manufacturer and see the huge change in prices from then to now. See the current price of the same sized flash drive from the same manufacturer
here.
Now if only Solid State Drives start dropping in price soon, so that I can start affording them.

Samsung releases 2GB MMCMicro
Samsung has released its smallest, fastest, and biggest-capacity memory card to date. It is a 2GB MMC Micro which serves as an alternative to MicroSD Cards.
Read Speed: 7.4MB/s
Write Speed: 7.1MB/s
No shipping date has been announced so far.
Personally, seeing the development of Flash memory cards makes the iPod seem less impressive. The trend would start to shift to using MP3 players and cellphones with external card slots for expandability. But that's just me, I guess.
I got this tech news item here.

64GB USB Flash Drive
That USB Flash drive you see right there packs a BIG punch. A 64GB punch, even. Compatible with Windows, Macintosh and Linux, it's now available for $2799.92. Erm... thanks, but that price tag is uber-steep.
