What I was alluding to is that at any point in time the maximum memory capacity 
per silicon is the same regardless of containers in which they are placed, ie 
SD will never catch up unless manufactures purposefully neglect the CF product 
line. CF are now at 8GB and SD are 2GB, the larger the solid state memory 
option the less we will need to rely upon sensitive and power hungry electro-
mechanical devices for bulk storage in the field.
