Of the three primary markets for flash storage (cameras, MP3 players, and cell phones), the one that really excites me is the cell phone. I had to put my binoculars on to see it, but it was there when I decided to invest in SanDisk when the first of their potential tornados started swirling. But I've never taken the time to try and quantify the size of the cell phone market that might inure to SanDisk's benefit. Have you? (I'm getting tired of doing my own due diligence. :)


Mike,
This is the best I could do right now:

over 280 million handsets were sold last year, and it's estimated that about 420 million will be sold this year, and over 1 billion by 2003. Granted, it's unreasonable to expect that all of those handsets sold in 2003 will contain slots for flash cards, but even if only 30% of them do, the size of this market will still easily dwarf all other removable flash markets combined.
