Someone told me that Compact Flash cards are one of the cheapest around, and they give you large memory space. The one I'm familiar with the most are the Sony Memory Sticks.
Sony's memory stick technology is size limited (128 MB for the original spec and 512 MB for the new, second generation spec), as well as speed limited (150 kb/sec for the original and 20 mb/sec for the new spec).
I don't know about secure digital, but it seems to be speed and size limited as well.
the Compact Flash (cf) cards seem to be the most open technology. The size keeps getting bigger (there probably is a ceiling somewhere), and the speeds keep getting faster (again, there probably is a ceiling, but Lexar is at 40x right now (that's 40x150kb/sec)). I like open standards, and CFcards seem to be mostly open technology.
