I say memory sticks will take over hard drives. Hard drives seem cool because of the memory size...

how many portable devices have hard drives now? how reliable?
maybe we'll start seeing removable hard drives instead of memory cards if they work well.
but memory products have changed so much in the last few years, i wouldn't be surprised by anything.
removable hard drives? You want to be able to hotswap in a phone?
Memsticks is the way to go. Even USB sticks would work.

I foresee problems in the teething stages,but maybe the harddrives will be suspended on some type of suspension platform to counteract small/mediocre knocks.However,i thinks mmc/msd is the way to go.Cd's and dvd's will soon be replaced by mem cards imo.

@slattery, very true, they do (I have an iPod mini with one of those HDDs), but mobile phones tend to go everywhere with people and used more - perhaps I'm getting iPod usage a bit wrong here, but my iPod doesn't go everywhere with me, perhaps if I didn't drive and used public transport a lot perhaps it would go more places, but perhaps not as many as I would go with my phone?

i doubt it,cd'd and dvd's might die,but it'll be replaced by its worthy successors like BDrom's hddvd's ,holographic disks etc.For mass storage hdd is the best way to go,i dont think flash memories can replace them anytime soon.
i think there are reliable hdd's (for handheld's) which can handle decent amount of shock and vibrations

Memory chips are getting cheaper and cheaper everytime a new technology is introduced -- whether in the materials used in the memory device itself of in the mass production process. IMO Flash memory chips will eventually replace microdrives.
