that is just plain stupid. we're talking about pendrives not 2.5" hdds. you can buy a plain notebook for the price of the latest axim but you wont buy the notebook if you are not as stupid as to disregard your need
far too often people are comparing something of the same price but of different value |

devices with moving mechanism have higher failure rate and they are heavier as compared to thumbdrive.

it does not matter, understand:? you dont see people recommending a dell 700m when someone is looking for a portable pda phone!!!
we are all talking about a thumdrive/flash memory, not something that will crack open the moment it is dropped onto the floor regardless of its "sarotech casing which can protect it very well mar" and not to mention the slow access rate of a harddrive compared to a flashdrive |

Thumbdrives are getting cheaper now. I couldn't imagined that I spent RM200 for a 256MB a few years back

But what the heck, is either we get it (and use it with full purpose) or we don't get it at all (while waiting it to be cheaper/bigger memory)

My friends now all opting for portable hd instead of thumbdrive since hd price is low now. Anyway, the preference depends on the users, I'd rather buy a notebook than a PDA.
