There is no way that Intel's admission of defeat adds uncertainty to the situation. Name one product that used their removable flash card...

CompactFlash has won the digital camera war. The Mavica was cute for a while. IMHO its limited resolution will lead to a fall off of sales in the near-term. It did capture a big chunk of the digital camera market to date which had a significant impact on SanDisk.

SmartMedia remains a problem. It is cheap. The storage capacity is increasing. However, there are problems with backward compatibility. Also, design-ins pale in comparison to those awarded CF.

This fall will be the true test for SNDK. Everyone on the thread should consider a digital camera for a holiday or birthday gift. Don't forget a couple of CompactFlash cards as well.
