A-Data SD cards with storage capacity meter

Alexander Turcic · 01-06-2006, 05:15 AM

Taiwanese A-Data has equipped its latest SD cards with a tiny display to show how much memory you've left to store your precious MP3 files. Unlike the Lexar JumpDrive Mercury, which uses E Ink technology (benefits: ultra-low power consumption, paper-like high contrast appearance), A-Data uses a traditional USB host-powered LCD display which retains its information if not inserted.

Enh. Kinda cool and maybe necessary for some people. I'd rather see some super-high capacity cards (2GB, 4GB,...) for under $100US. I could put more movies at higher quality for viewing on my Z2. Or more games for playing on my Z2 (with the PSX emu.)

Ditto. I care more for memory than for this extra bells and whistles.
