and music players are slashing prices to stoke demand and
undermine emerging rivals, industry officials and analysts
said.

RoHS compliant products. All ATP flash memory cards (SD, MMC, miniSD,
RS-MMC) are fully RoHS compliant and are shipping immediately, with
DRAM modules to achieve full compliance by end of 2005. SGS GROUP, a

07/07/2004 09:29 AM
The EMP-100 and 110 are the
newest flash MP3 players from EraTech, the people who happen to make
one of the only flash memory players I'd like to own, the EMP-ZII (the
one that looks like a little egg). Both these new players look fine,
too, as far as flash players are concerned, with MP3 and WMA support,
simple displays, and USB 1.1 interfaces. Actually, now that I think
about it, that's sort of wimpy. The main difference between the two
models is that the EMP-110 has an integrated USB port, like a flash
memory key drive, while the EMP-100 requires a separate cable. I4U has
an EMP-100 in their review queue -- expect to see that soon.

If you thought
all Yet Another Flash Drives were the same, leave it to Ars Technica
to prove you (us) wrong with a hugely informative (if pedantic) review
of 10 different USB 2.0 Hi-speed flash memory drives, with benchmarks,
read/write tests, and even an experiment involving two flash drives
and RAID 0. It's a great place to start if you're interested in any of
the drives, with include units from PNY, SanDisk, Mushkin, SimpleTech,
FujiFilm (a write-speed beast), Verbatim, Transcend (the overall
winner), and Iomega (who did very well all around).

Pretec has announced what
they are calling the 'World's Fastest Flash Memory Card,' a 2GB giant
that uses the MMC 4 spec to transfer 4-bits of data in parallel with
write speeds up to 18MB/sec and read speeds of up to 22.5MB/sec. Even
better, the card is backwards-compatible with previous SD/MMC devices,
albeit at lower read/write speeds. To give you some perspective, those
speeds would make the 2GB Pretec card about 200 percent faster than
the fastest SD cards available on the market.

05/26/2004 09:03 AMWhen Apple's iPod burst onto the scene, many people who previously
hadn't thought about buying an MP3 player snapped to attention.
Flash-memory–based players had been fairly inexpensive but very
frustrating to use with Macs. Now the hard-drive–based iPod and iPod
mini are the best-selling MP3 players on the market. Given this new
context, we decided it was time to look at the alternatives, for
people who are on a tight budget and who just want to use a player at
the gym or during a commute, and not for storing a huge music
collection.

on remembering
Flash memory takes a licking and keeps
on remembering
08/02/2004 03:02 AMFlash memory cards (CompactFlash, Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick and
Smartmedia) are nigh-indestructible (I once put a brand-new Exilim
digital camera through the laundry: the camera was toast, but the SD
memory survived and is still in use today!).
The one question I have is how these things fare against time itself,
given that CDs and DVDs tend to delaminate, tapes crumble, and HDDs'
bearings seize up -- it'd be great to have media that you could bury
in a time-capsule for a couple decades with confidence.
They were dipped into cola, put through a washing machine, dunked in
coffee, trampled by a skateboard, run over by a child's toy car and
given to a six-year-old boy to destroy.
Perhaps surprisingly, all the cards survived these six tests.
Most of them did fail to get through two additional tests - being
smashed by a sledgehammer and being nailed to a tree.
