>>About cost/Mbyte: don't forget that the customer foots much of the bill in a flash card solution, BUT the manufacture foots much of the bill in a CLIK! based solution. (Since the drive needs to be embedded in the product). In other words, a flash card solution cost MUCH LESS to manufacture than a Clik! solution.<< Ken - Don't forget that any camera made with storage solution also has to come with a flash card, which adds to the cost and decreases the differential between manufacturing costs of that camera and one equipped with Clik! Manufacturers don't just look at the cost of making a device, however. They look at a cost/benefit analysis. If the customer is more likely to buy a slightly more expensive item that costs 50 to 75 bucks more, then the manufacturers will make that item. Power requirements for Clik! have been very carefully considered, and the current design is extremely efficient. Power consumption is only one consideration in making handheld devices. Again, the manufacturers want to build products that people will buy. - Allen
