I still don't think the SD / CF issue is very important. I was an XD

at XD sometime! They're much smaller physically.  :)

I also didn't complain when I had to buy an SD card for my Pentax 
*istDS, instead of using the XD form factor I was used to. To me, that 
would seem to almost as productive as complaining that the *istDS 
wouldn't accept 8x10 film holders.  ;)

Also, Instead of worrying about the capacity of flash cards, I would 
rather have Pentax make a camera which could be connected directly to 
a $200 (or less) portable battery-powered hard drive.

Or how about a unit that would transfer the images to CD/DVD on-the-fly? 
Or maybe a magneto-optical thingy would be more realistic?
