I noticed something kind of interesting but probably not all that meaningful. The density (GB per cubic cm) of flash cards now beats hard drives (dimensions from data sheets): 3.5" HD (750 GB Seagate Barracuda): 26.1 mm x 101.6 mm x 146.99 mm = 389.78 cm^3 = 1.924 GB/cm^3 2.5" HD (160 GB Seagate...
