Is flash memory really getting cheaper by the day? That used to be the case as device memory jumped every 6 months from 4 to 8 to 16 and up to 64. But for the last two years we stopped and (in many cases) have even going backward (probably starting with the Kindle Fire). So there is no increased volume for larger sizes, why should flash memory get cheaper?
