Olympus announce delay to 256 MB xD-Picture Card

Olympus Japan has today posted a very short note that the 256 MB xD-Picture Card will not be available for purchase in December 2002 as previously announced and that instead it should be available at the end of January 2003. No doubt it's important for the xD-Picture Card to match the capacities now available for SD and CF and also breaking through the 128 MB barrier will also help users to realise the advantage over SmartMedia. Now all we need is for Sony to finally announced their 256 MB Memory Stick, promised oh-so-long-ago.
