Hello. Was realy fantasizing about the possibility of a 3-in-1 or more combo module card with Compact Flashcard adapter, audio player and wireless modem perhaps. Super nanotechnology I guess. You think it's possible?

yeah, but I don't know about audio player unless you can actually record live sound with it(and I know that would be kind a tough with size of SB module). I don't understand why, but people dig MP3 over MD in the States(probably relate to pop. of computer users); in Japan I guess MD got popular enough before MP3, so a lot of car stereo are equipped with MD, as well as home audio, and portable type are selling just like Walkman before. I do have MD rec/play Walkman, about the size of two MDs, so I don't really want MP3 player in my Visor. Now they got MDLP, which record 4 times longer than original MD format, give you 6hours of music(I think that's what it was...), and disks are cheap(like a $1.50 or so) compare to 64mb of this and that memory card. and if it's stand alone audio player, it's not gonna eat battery of Visor.

In another thread I was SO excited by digi-cam module with CF slot, but when someone said buying stand alone digi-cam with memory thing would be better in cost/performance, I realized something; all I want is piggyback module which has been talked about in here many times. With that, you could have camera module and memory module to capture and back up that data. if I have wireless communication module and video camera module (someday...), Visor could be personal live TV station! now that's what I want!

I know that's too much, but since a lot of Visor users already have some modules, so piggyback seems to be better, instead of replacing them with all in one module. not to mention people don't want to spend more $$$ on individual module than what they paid for Visor itself.

All these come to me after I read "A Thousand pixels of light", and now I'm back in focus(thanks to Alan). I should seek for something that I really NEED; otherwise I'll be ended up with so many stuff that I don't have time to use.
