TOKYO
16:00: Olympus has today announced the new xD Picture Card flash storage
media. The xD Picture Card was developed in conjunction with Fujifilm
as the replacement for the aging SmartMedia format. The card will be produced
by Toshiba. Both companies are keen to stress that they are and will continue
to support the SmartMedia format and will continue to produce SmartMedia
cards into the future. The xD format is designed to address the need for
smaller sized cameras and higher capacity storage, it will be available
initially up to 128 MB with 256 and 512 MB just around the corner. I personally
am not that keen to see yet another flash storage format.
