USB Digital Drive on every digital camera?
So I have been looking at the HP Pavilion zv5000z notebook computers lately and I notice that HP is trying to obsolete the floppy drive. Instead, it want to sell you a notebook with an USB Digital Drive bay and a USB Digital Drive. The USB Digital Drive is basically a USB flash memory drive that comes in 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB.
It's not a bad idea, since every computer sold today have build-in USB ports. So question is, will USB flash memory drives make its way onto digital cameras?
Consider that instead of different flash memory cards, such as SmartMedia, SD cards, Memory Stick, we could simply plug in a USB memory drive. It can be read directly on a computer . . .
Ok, maybe I don't exactly wish for this . . . but it was kinda fun to ponder.

In a way, this wish kinda came true when SANDISK DEMONSTRATES HIGHLY INNOVATIVE SD MEMORY CARD WITH BUILT-IN USB CONNECTIVITY earlier this year. This innovation builds the bare essential portion of the USB connector into the body of the Secure Digital Card. In the SD card form, it can be inserted into a digital camera for storage. Then simply pop out of the card, snap it into the USB form and plug it into the USB port of your computer. In the end, it's kinda like having the ability of pluging your USB drive into your digital camera. 8-P
Doesn't this also reminds you of the Lexar Media USB-enabled CF cards?
