"StorDigital is always looking for new products that might make the lives of our customers easier. Anyone who owns a digital camera knows the frustration of having to delete images to make room for that extra shot. With the DVpal those days are over and you can leave the editing decisions until you reach the security of your desktop," said Nic Ranshaw, Managing Director.

"The DVpal is the first of a whole range of products you will see from StorDigital in this area. The cost of large capacity memory cards remains high. Think of the DVpal as a low cost 40Gig Memory Card, and you get the picture," Ranshaw said.
