Toshiba are set to launch the smallest ever hard-drive at next month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The 0.85 inch is about the same size as an American quarter and is destined to find its way into MP3 players, set-top boxes, mobile phones and other electronic goods. Its capacity is expected to be between 2GB and 3GB. According to the website NE Asia Online, “at present, it has no plan to use it as an exchange medium such as a CompactFlash card”, so this may well be one for the future as far as digital cameras are concerned.
