I'm sorely tempted to crack open my Ameo, and see whether the microdrive could be replaced by a more battery efficient 8GB CompactFlash card.

Anyone opened it or found internal shots yet?

8GB Compact Flash cards generally ARE microdrives The microdrives inside ipod mini's are compact flash cards and can actually be read using a convetional CF card reader

Anyway, why would you stop at 8GB? There are 16GB (and I've heard of 32GB) compact flash cards around

There are 8GB CF cards that are actually FLASH of course, hence my interest.

I'm aware most microdrives are CF, also hence my devious plan

Well, if somebody were to send me both a 8/16/32GB CF card and an Ameo I'd fully investigate that prospect for the good people here at modaco

I'd love to replace the MD with a Flash product. If anyone finds any photo-how-to's post it here and I will happily let you know whether it works.
