If a camera had a ~2 mb flash storage and a 40 mb CLIK! then possible ~20 high quality shots could be taken and stored on a disk. If more pictures were wanted then another CLIK! disk would be used. Since I am only guessing, and am not an expert in this technology like some on this forum, this may be entirely wrong. I am suggesting that both the flash and disk storage technology will be used in a single digital camera that deliver the highest quality pictures and unlimited shots.

>>Click! and flash go together<< and Kodak as well. Kodak is committed to digital photography because if they don't figure out how to profit from it they will surely be negatively impacted by it. They can't afford to miss this move in the industry. It is clear from their recently announced alliance with AOL that they are serious about going digital in a major way. The stakes are very high for Kodak. They make a digital camera, they are processing film and writing them to CD's or posting them to AOL, so what's left to go digital. The film! Their biggest source of revenue. And the one area of their business that stands to be impacted the most by digital photography. Do they make money on flash? Of course not. Could they make money on Clik! disks? Hell yes! If Clik! receives widespread industry support Kodak will be in a perfect position to distribute cobranded disks right next to their traditional film. And with cross platform use the demand will build sooner and not be entirely dependent on digital photographers. Kodak needs a way to replace the loss of film sales as digital photography grows and matures. Clik! is it. I believe we will be seeing an announcement in the near future from Kodak regarding their support, cobranding, and distribution of Clik! disks. Possibly bundling Clik! drives with their cameras as well. PC Expo would be great timing for it. Les
