Tape worm

This simple-design and handy tape dispenser, is very portable, if you always use tapes.

This single piece of stainless ’spring’ steel flexes to fit on the inside of the tape roll with a blade on the outside for cutting. When installed, it works just like any other tape dispenser. When you’re not using it, the tapeWORM springs back to its original shape.

SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash

SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash

If CompactFlash means still photography to you, it’s time to think outside the box. CompactFlash and its pocket size format siblings are now robust enough to replace videotape in high end applications. 32GB means over 80 minutes of 100 Mbps, 10-bit, 4:2:2 HD video. Until now that was primarily a job for tape whose use brought all the problems associated with mechanical transports. SanDisk touts their temperature specs (minus 13°F to 185°F) because it’s a simple way of pounding home, “We’re not tape.”

Arrives by October for a price of $299.
