The same argument would apply to CF vs PC Card (PCMCIA) memory cards, but where
are they? SD cards will be cheaper and higher capacity than CF in the future
due to the demand from their use in PDAs, phones, MP3 players, etc. CF will go
and Pentax will be een as having led the pack into the future.

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.
