Panasonic has created a new SD card standard, SDHC, that can transfer data at 5MB/s and costs about $262 for a 4GB model. Best of all? They’re incompatible with current SD devices yet they look so similar that you’d be hard-pressed to tell them apart in a dark alley.
Why did they do this, you ask? Because Panasonic is crazy? Because they hate you? Because we need another media format like we need lupus, yet punks like Panasonic and Sony will keep dumping them out like rabbit turds? All of the above.
