FYI:

Panasonic & Hitachi based SD cards already read / write at that speed...

I've got a PXA255 developement kit (not mine, I was lent it) and that shows I/O speed for flash memory...

The Axim strangely enough should be able to read / write to SD cards at 20MB/s ... That's faster than CF cards. Yet my Ax processes SD cards as fast as the PXA dk...

So your saying go panasonic and you might as well be buying the latest and greatest sandisk for cheaper?

I doubt that they can really survive in any sort of extream temps!
