Steve W. - I am not Mike but here goes my 2 cents:

I am not contributing anything original but just a rehash of comments made by other posters when this question had come up before:

1. Most major Camera manufacturers have endorsed CF as a standard. They have products shipping with CF. Mike has pointed out that its not going to be easy for camera manufacturers to sell hundreds of these camera this x-mas and then suddenly do an about face and change the flash to the miniature card.

2. Intel's Camera Kit is not a full featured Digital camera - its being pushed as a low cost barebones product and will not likely appeal to professionals and even to the average user who wants reasonable features from the camera. Only couple of minor league manufacturers have signed up for this format. I posed this question a while back and I was satisfied with the respones from posters some of whom were professional photographers.

Ref : My initial query
