>>IBM, and soon Halo, will be shipping disk drives into this market at lower cost than flash and less rugged; a percentage of this market is expected to use disk drives.<< I don't think that the consumer is going to tolerate a shock-sensitive storage device for applications like digital cameras. Consumers are going to be returning their disk drives, destroyed by being accidentally dropped a few feet onto the floor, and they are going to be demanding their money back. A data storage device for this market just has to be rugged.
