When Compact Flash came out, it was impressive. When SD came out, it was impressive, but I think we are cutting size looking at percentage of previous size instead of absolute difference, which is questionable at this point.

I would much prefer the bigger and bigger capacities that are coming instead of giving device manufacturers more profits from memory cards and over flexibility.

What I really want is that my card will be pluggable to USB, like the I-Stick. Reducing the memory card size from an inch to half an inch doesn't do it to me.

Why has the credit card stayed the size it is and didn't become smaller? Because unless you genetically engineer the users to have smaller fingers, you can't make them fumble with fingernail size electronic devices that may cause a disaster (money wize, privacy wize, etc.) if lost.
