Yes, it is the same with all of the consumer computer industry - all standards are cut the moment they need new profits, selling near identical products which use a different standard. Ever tried upgrading your older PC? Even the case and power supply are "morally outdated" by now, not fitting with the new "standard"... But I think CF will stay a while. They have the best storage/price ratio, and their physical form is the ideal for most pro cameras. Would you think of saving your pictures which make your living to a card as small as a thumbnail, as some are now? Me certainly not. CF card is the smallest possible for me, with ergonomics in mind.
