Sam Citron, Let's face it. Only one digital camera uses Clik! Most mp3/internet audio devices use some form of flash memory. The PCMCIA Clik! is a nice concept, but it won't fit in most handhelds or any palmtops. Clik! will never be in a cell phone. Don't cling to Clik! It is a losing proposition discussed many times here. <end of story> Ausdauer SanDisk...See the Big Picture

Many digital cameras in the past came with only an 8mb flash card. Even my Nikon Coolpix had only this much. A card that small could probably be purchased for $10. As double density cards come on the market, a 16mb card will probably cost almost the same. Even a 32 mb card will probably cost hardly any more than $40. It is unlikely that the performance of Clik could ever surpass a CF in read/write times, and of course, its power requirements alone would reduce the performance of the whole camera. Seems to me that the small extra cost of flash memory is one area where users will opt for the better performance. And manufacturers who want to sell at a bargain price will continue to offer some cameras with the 8 or 16 mb units, letting the customer purchase extra higher capacity units later on.
