Art, re: "The bottom line is that not all camera manufacturers will feel the need to incorporate removable flash memory into their units. They'll choose whatever is cheaper, or suitable for the users they contemplate selling to." I believe that the majority of camera manufacturers will recognize that having a card slot is better for both the manufacturer and the consumer. By including a card slot and a minimal size card, the manufacturer avoids both the need to decide how much flash should be included and the price/supply problems of maintaining an inventory of flash chips. The consumer can choose between cameras without flash capacity being a factor and can expand capacity over time as needs change or flash prices decline.
