"you send the pictures over your cell phone or hotel phone to your home PC, by pressing a button on your camera. Where does that leave SanDisk?" No reason you can't take a CF or MMC and upload the image into a portable computer or PDA with a wireless modem and then send the image to an online host or to your own computer base station. Maybe I'm missing something here, but first and foremost is the ability to transmit the image by wireless device, and Sony is not a major player in that market. Alternatively, you could build a camera that included a wireless phone and embedded memory so that after taking several shots, you could transmit directly from the camera. I don't see SanDisk missing out on this market, but given the need for reliable, relatively high speed wireless transmission speeds, I think QUALCOMM and its third generation CDMA patented systems is more likely to profit from this feature than either Sony or SanDisk.
