Cooters, still wondering what killer app will drive flash memory use...

...in the handset market.

How about local storage of voice messages when the phone is "switched off" or silenced
in a movie theater or at a concert? Will this be enough? I am sorta doubtful.
It will be interesting to see how the Handspring TREO does. Enjoyable web browsing
will be crucial to future hybrid handset/PDA designs. Time will tell.

Regarding digital imaging, I am warming up to these MPEG and AVI movies you
can do on a digital camera. The resolution needs to improve, but there is a lot
of movie editing software out there and I think flash storage has advantages over
digital linear tape with regard to file access, copying and PC transfer. It will just
be a matter of cost. Right now digital tape is dirt cheap.
