Repeat sales BINGO! You hit the crux of it... I would prefer not to participate in a future where I have to sort and keep track of a bunch of little memory cards, postage-sized ones at that, for personal data archival purposes. What a personal logistics nightmare that would be! Instead, let's get that data as fast as possible over to networked rotating media where we can conveniently access, search, sort, and archive it. A plausible scenario shaping up is one or two cards purchased per device at most, and remaining in the device most of the time.....which therefore seems to look like an almost permanently embedded memory solution to me. And so look for companies like Intel to establish protocol bus standards for interchangeable embedded memory, in their attempts to skirt the scenario where flash card slots are a necessity. Look for SanDisk to respond by integrating more and more functions in the controller. How about a CMOS image sensor integrated in the controller? How about in the future, the memory card becomes the camera?
