SanDisk iNAND is designed to run on the same bus as an SD card, making it straight forward to design into new products while also allowing easy design of products that support both embedded storage and removable Flash card slots.

Nice. I wonder if this new card (as if we really need a new card) will fit in an SD slot on current devices and, if so, if the devices will be able to use the card? What does it mean that it'll use the SD card bus? To me, that means that it's like an SD card (but if it's like an SD card, why couldn't it be an SD card? Is there some market condition that makes SanDisk feel like making a new type of card, or some technical limitation that to SD cards that SanDisk can overcome with this new technology? Curious.)
I wonder, also, how comparable prices will be on these new cards (to SD cards) and how comparable the amount of times it can be overwritten is.
If it fits and works in my Z2 I'll take two 4GB cards next year, please. I'll be willing to pay around $100/card. Of course, it might cost more...
