CF and SD will be around for some time as they are both used extensively
everywhere =). CF has traditionally been cheaper per MB (probably because
the controller enables use of non-perfect flash parts) and is definitely
available in much larger capacities. However, the SD is smaller and the
sockets cheaper.
