SanDisk 16GB Extreme III for $160

If you’re willing to endure the rebate hassle (see May 1 entry on this page), the SanDisk 16GB Extreme III Compact Flash card ends up costing you $160 ($289.99 less a $130 mail-in rebate). That’s just amazing for that much storage—$10 per gigabyte. There must be a next generation of memory chips on the horizon, because it was only last December that the same card sold for $550.
