How long before there comes a new format (using the same technology) for distributing content? Think about this: if they make a 64GB write once flash card - in whatever form that might be - and load a hi-def movie on it, this could be the beginning of the end of HD-DVD/Blu Ray or any other optical media. Mark my words on that...
To top it off, think about the archival benefits for large corporations that still use tape based storage. Better yet, think how much music stores could save on shipment/stocking of music if it was all in a smaller form factor (granted, you still need the booklets to fit somehow).
Possibilities with this tech is endless, and also a great for photographers like myself who could just run into a supermarket and buy new "film", load it. For sure, you might be able to buy a cheap CF/SD card, but for those of us that got burnt with cheap storage and corrupt files as a result this seems like an ideal solution.
This tech will come soon, and I'm looking forward to it :D
