Smart Media to Supersede Compact Flash. I will be buying rounds of drinks the day somebody finally shoots the Smart Media horse. With any luck, the idiotic Sony Memory Stick will take the same route to the dumpster. Compact Flash is better because it has more capacity, period. I don't understand why these camera companies can't bite the bullet and kill Smart Media.
Nobody wants it.
A DVD drive doesn't cost much more to build into a machine than a CD-ROM drive does. We were all given the impression by the researchers that DVD would be a standard device on all computers by the year 2000. Games would be stamped onto DVDs and all sorts of cool things would come of it. We're still waiting. Yeah, I know these technologies have improved a little, but they still suck.
