Kodak vs Sandisk will be interesting to watch.

It's not Kodak so much, since they're an end-product maker. Companies like Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, and of course IBM are the immediate issue. PC Magazine this week has a short article on some of the alternatives (although amazingly they show a Lexar Compact Flash rather than a SanDisk).

On Kodak--I think it is incontestable that Kodak won't be a player in the chipmaking (flash) part of this, and film will become increasingly marginalized into niches. They are working hard to gain a lead in the Digital Camera market, but that's a far cry from their position in film. Film will be around a long time, because it does some things that digital will never be able to do, but the mass market will move to digital cameras in preference to point-and-shoots.

Best,
