It doesn't work that way. Circuit City, a large electronic chain store
in the USA sells 1gb Sandisk SD for $15 and 2gb for $20. OTOH, Fry's,
another big chain store had a 500gig hard drive on sale for $99. Two
500 gig drives equal a terabyte drive, but those sell for around $400.

Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Card = $14.99 I see some at Amazon.com $10
Transcend 2GB Secure Digital Card = $19.99
Transcend 4GB Secure Digital Card = $29.99
Here you are paying $5 for every gig over 1 gig
but $15 for the original 1 gig SD card. State of
the art is never pro****tional to the established
technology for instance 32gig SD or 1TB hard drive.
Older technology gets more expensive because of less
demand. A new 40gig hard drive costs nearly the same
as the currently popular 160gig. Same way with older
style memory compared to the newer faster memory.
