True, but as was mentioned at Mobility Site, if you get to about 256 GB (only four steps from today's 16 GB cards), you might be able to start replacing hard drives in laptops (currently about 250 - 500 GB). Today it would take too many cards, but at 256 GB, even if laptops come standard with 1-2 TB by then, you'd only need 4-8 cards. You could put a card reader bank where the hard drive used to go.
They might cost more and be slower, so they wouldn't be for budget-conscious people or niche applications, but how cool would that be?
