That would allow you to carry your hard drive in your pocket - that would allow you to have computers all over the place, cheap ones, with small hard drives with just an OS on it - you plug in your flash memory and you have your computer there - would not need laptops if these computers were all over the place - airplanes - hotel rooms etc. Would need a new OS that would allow total running of programs from the flash memory without needing to install anything on the computer's hard drive - but imagine the use of all these kiosks all over the place - it would be great.

The inevitable is that flash cards will be the dominant storage format within the next decade. Any storage that doesn't require moving parts will always be a clear-cut winner. As this technology gets perfected the more it will be implemented.
