Hi, Sounds interesting - given that Sandisk has already come out with 64 GB SDXC cards. I expect talks of new hardware (it'll likely be called hansone hardware 4.0) to emerge sometime in 2012. Cheers, Joseph

I'm thinking it's not too much to ask that the next generation of Braille Sense notetakers carry a little more flash. A 64-GB Hard Drive the Size of a Stamp By STEPHEN WILLIAMS DESCRIPTION In the not too distant technological past, a computer's storage drives filled a space not much smaller than my living room. The new 64-gigabyte solid-state drive from SanDisk is the size of a postage stamp. Miniaturization, except when it comes to S.U.V.'s and flat-panel televisions, is a key and crucial formula these days in gadgets, and the SanDisk "iSSD" -for integrated solid state drive-will end up in tablet PCs, netbooks, smartphones and other mobile products. One of the major advantages here is that the iSSD has no mechanical or moving parts, as do most internal hard drives, and the new drive could likely be attached directly to the computer's motherboard, freeing up valuable interior space inside the machine. The result: smaller gadgets with more power and greater power efficiency. The size of the new chip is only 18 by 20 millimeters, less than two mm thick, and weighing less than a gram. The iSSD products have been made available to manufacturing clients for evaluation, SanDisk said. Storage capacities, while limited now to 64 gigs-not nearly enough for fully functional laptops-will increase in time. SanDisk is among the chief makers worldwide of flash memory modules. It has not set a price as yet on the new gear.
