Considering that a 1G flash card is already cheaper than a 1G microdrive, that's a pretty safe prediction.

(Note that back in December 2002, IBM sold off it's hard drive business. Also note that the 1G flash card is a CF Type I card, but the microdrive is a CF Type II card that may not be compatible with all devices and may not even work properly in all environments.)

Cheers! Hans
