PTM: I think yes. Until FLASH will be cheap enough. They made it with
Bernoulli box portables, Zip drive and Jazz. They threw to us technology
and prises that were just an inch at the right side. For example this Zip
was a bit slow, a bit small and a bit high prized, but it had no
competitors, when you wanted to take your XX MB pictures or your ACAD
environment with you or make a fast backup of a falling system in the
woods.
Yes, I see the future for this kind of product. Alltough it will not be a
very long future. And altough I hate moving hi-tech parts in my pack of
tools (if you can't also use it as a hammer or anvil, it is useles:)
