Re 64,96MB etc. For me, there are two other reasons why demand for larger cards will be limited compared to small - medium size (these being relative terms). 1) Sticker shock. Over time, I might pay several hundred dollars for flash, but its easier to do that a bit at a time rather than in one go, even if its cheaper to buy bigger sizes (which it doesnt appear to be). 2) Eggs in one basket syndrome. I'd rather spread my vacation/whatever pictures over 3 or 4 cards than 1. And 3, one card is not as versatile as several cards with the same total storage. One card goes in one device. Several cards, go in my MP3, PDA, camera, etc, at the same time. Tw (no one expects the Spanish inquisition)
