Motorola To Outline New Flash Technology
With the rapid growth in capacity and popularity of flash memory, it's inevitable that we're starting to bump up against the limits of existing technology. Fortunately, there are new solutions down the road.
"Motorola later this month will detail some of its efforts to increase the capacity of flash memory--chips that are used to store data in millions of electronic devices.
At this month's 2003 IEEE Non-Volatile Semiconductor Memory Workshop, the computing giant will present four papers detailing its work to create new kinds of flash memory. The technical conference starts Feb. 16 in Monterey, Calif."

Is there a practical limit to the size CF and SD can be?

Well, I'd assume this article implies "yes", from a physical standpoint -- and presumably SD has a lower ceiling than CF just due to the fact that it's smaller packaging. I don't know what those limitations are, however.

Of course 10 years ago, who would have believed we would be using 200Gb hard drives in our pcs..
