| Small card with 128M bytes of memory, compatible with devices that accept Compact Flash cards, including Pocket PCs and some MP3 players. Not that cool, but a good way to store lots of data in a compact format. Besides, we liked the purple carrying case. Also comes in other memory flavors, from 32M bytes to 256M bytes. |

| Every year, I’m wowed by the amount of memory that can get squeezed down into small form factors. Getting 5G bytes on a PC card pretty much guarantees that you can put a lot of photos, music and other data files (you can practically back up your laptop) onto the card. |
