Accessories / SD microdrive when?

I\'d say that it\'s probably not thin enough.  Even if the drive itself would fit, you still need some  sort of casing to protect it.

If an SD micro drive does eventually come out, you can bet that it\'ll be hideously expensive, at least at the start.

I agree. I don\'t think an SD sized microdrive will ever be protected well enough to be released as removable media. They will make a great replacement for internal flash though where they would be protected by the unit case.
The drives are expected to cost 30000 yen, about  150 quid ( http://www.spacedaily.com/2003/03121403383...7.d7bacj7h.html )
