>>'987 isn't bullet-proof<< One alternative to removable flash cards in general is the recently announced joint effort of AMD and M Systems (FLSH) to make high speed, high capacity embedded units. This seems to be an attractive alternative for Kodak. A camera containing this embedded memory would hold enough capacity so that the user would periodically transmit the images to online, host computer storage or to a personal computer. Once the transfer of images was complete, the embedded memory would be ready for more images. Note that many cameras are now coming out with a direct USB connection to a computer, an indication that there may be no need for removable flash cards. This seems to me a bigger threat than the availability of different brands and styles of removable memory, whether MemoryStick, SmartMedia, or CF. Art
