Why? If you really need PostgreSQL on your PDA don't use Flash. Use an IDE
drive.

$369 for 4GB of storage in a compact flash card is not all that bad. $189
for 2.2GB is very reasonable when you consider the 512MB CF is going for
$149!
These are basically IDE drives in a compact flash form factor, as such they
should have lifetimes approaching a regular IDE drive, right? Just don't
bounce them around too much.
