This may be just wishful thinking. But I expect the higher margins will not be on raw memory cards, but on assembled applications. For instance, there is no technical reason why a picture bit map cannot be transferred to flash via a DRAM buffer. That should free the camera immediately. I don't know if that would be part of the camera or the flash card.
