Link below for NEW CF microdrive from SEAGATE! They will bring out new line to compete with Hitachi, they said at end of article the 5 GIG version should be less than $200.00.

I will be interested if these will work in the Axim X5 with 2003!
Who will be the first to try?

I want one!

it should work just fine in the X5..... just make sure that you have some sort of tab on the microdrive since they dont have the little lip like cf cards and the axim dosent have an ejector button
(people in the past have brought up this question/problem)

Nice...I do want to get one much, much later in the future...

Gotta love the cf slot...

Still though, what a great price! I'm impressed

Wo less than $200 for a 5Gb CF Drive, I could have saved over $1500 from my 8Gb CF Card purchase...... that sucks.

Anyone have confirmation for this? The link is down, are there any others?

I'm looking around the seagate site.

I want a big CF card for a mp3 player... That way I won't have to get a hard drive based mp3 player.
