Hi, it sort of depends what you want and when you want it. As I see
it MD is
no more. You have to go solid state for portable

Not if you don't like the cost, which is considerable. Blank MDs are
dirt cheap.

I think the ongoing collapse in large CF cards prefaces the end of MD

CF cards have not collapsed to the price of MD blanks. Although I do
remember a time when MD blanks cost about ten times what they do now
(ie pretty close to the current price of an equivalent CF card).

Spotted in Dubai airport last week by a colleague -

1GByte Compact Flash cards, 64 dollars. The only problem is, he didn't
know what kind of dollars!

Still miles from MD prices, but definitely heading in the right
direction.
