CompactFlash is
the world's most popular removable mass storage device.
The CompactFlash card is about the size of a matchbook
and only weighs half an ounce. The card was designed
based on the popular PC Card (PCMCIA) standard and can
easily be slipped in these slots with the use of a
low-cost adapter. CompactFlash technology has resulted
in the introduction of a new class of advanced, small,
lightweight, low-power mobile products that
significantly increases the productivity and enhances
the lifestyle of millions of people. These products
include digital cameras, digital music players, desktop
computers, handheld PCs (HPCs), personal communicators,
Palm PCs, Auto PCs, digital voice recorders and photo
printers. SanDisk, the inventor of this product, has led
the market for CompactFlash since its inception!!
