Some news from the world of cool - "Samsung is first to announce a Flash storage device that aims to completely replace the traditional hard drive in some mass market mobile computers. The 32 GB solid state disk (SSD) drive comes in a 1.8" form factor and reads data at more than twice the speed of hard drives. Best of all: The SSD is promised to consume 95% less power than a hard drive."
"Pure performance is only half the story of a SSD; the drive's light weight (15g), noiseless operation and a reduced power consumption may be even more important in most mobile applications."

Now, when will we see this technology built into digital cameras? I wouldn't mind 32GB of memory for those long photo shoots and camping trips..
If they can fit 30G and 60G into iPods (probably different tech though), surely they can fit it into a DSLR as well...
