Too bad SanDisk does not have a plan to sell its products online. I know the Company has said that it is focusing on its retail chain, but this is the market to have a webpage for selling your products. If you go to sandisk.com you see an impressive list of retailers. I jumped to office max, but had to sift through its webpage and never located sandisk's products offer online. I hope the company will announce in the future its products online. The current process is to buy from the retailer or order a competitor (lexar or viking) compact flash card on the internet. While the retail chains are good for building name recognition, I believe the sophisticated consumer who will demand higher capacity CF cards are going to shop online and get the best deal possible. I do not believe there is too much product differentiation between CF cards which requires brand preference over cheaper prices.
