You wrote "FLASH* is dead, just that NAND usage for Camera flash is(IMO)."

Last I saw, those neat 340 MB hard drives cost about $500. Surely these small hard drives might make a big splash in the high end digital cameras, but they cost too much for the vast majority of digital camera users.

<< Cameras are memory hogs. Cell phones & MP3 players aren't. >>

Per item, I think MP3 players are huge memory hogs compared to cameras. Typical MP3 player has 64 meg of ram, and would have more if there were bigger flash chips. I haven't checked out digital cameras in awhile, but I thought they were between 8-32M.
