The problem with floppy disks is they remained stuck at a certain size and gave poor value for money when it comes to cost per MB, whereas harddrive's space continue to rise and costs are falling.
It will be useful on small sub-notebooks where reliability is more important than size.

The future is here.

'Can't put 'em in the rear view soon enough! The weight loss alone will be pretty cool. Decreased access time! I am so ready!
