1. would you buy a 10GB flash over a HD player?
|
If I read the question as a 10Gig Flash vs. a 10Gig HD then almost certainlly, better battery, no moving parts. However, flash drives currently have a 1 million write limit per sector. So I'd be curious as to the internal workings of any flash player I would consider buying, knowing how/if it uses swap files especially. However, a 10 Gig Flash vs. a 40Gig HD, no way, not enough space for me personally.

2. what would you be willing to pay for a unit?

About as much as I'd pay for a 15 gig HD I figure, not sure what that would be, but I figure 50% capacity is about what the flash is worth to me.
That said, I don't foresee a single flash card based 10 Gig player for at least two years. Perhaps like some of those prototype video recorders though, a 4 x 2.5 gig Flash player. In fact, I can see alot of coolness with that concept, a little brick, which you can swap out 2.5gig flash cards. Would allow you to swap out parts of your memory....
