While DataPlay may have a long list of negatives, you shouldn't write it off entirely. In its 500MB read-only configuration at <1$ a disk, you could:

1) Buy one disk containing the latest Stephen King novel and have every other novel in his collection ready for the unlocking with just a phone call.

2) Tuck 100 albums worth of MP3s into your shirt pocket for the price of just one average-sized CF card.

In its write-once configuration, you could:

1) Store 15 hours of dictation for your secretary.

2) Use a single stamp to mail hundreds of photos to grandma that might take days to download using a dial-up connection.

3) Enjoy the Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee video on your PDA.

IMHO, one of the many optical storage players will eventually hit paydirt.
