I-O Data announces 80GB and 160GB iVDR cards for the teeming few

If you're one of the unfortunate few outside of Japan to get locked into iVDR media after it was touted as the next big thing, well, take heart: I-O Data still loves you. Today they announced 80GB (iVDR-80) and 160GB (you guessed it, the iVDR-160) cartridges. Available late April in Japan for ¥38,850 (about $333) or ¥22,050 (about $189) of the green stuff for the 160GB and 80GB cartridges, respectively. Ouch. We hear they'll look great stacked up side-by-side with your MiniDisc collection.

Are these flash memory cards that can be used in laptops? What is the read/write speed? How much power to they consume? What are the physical dimensions?

If these are small and fast, then who wouldn't want to pop this suckers in their laptop at those prices?

You mean 'teeming'. 'Teaming' would be... people forming a team.
And those would look nice stacked next to ZipDrives, too!
