For the foreseeable future and well beyond, CF flash memory cards will always be:

1. much faster - up to 80x now already, I think fast SD cards are in the 10x
2. come in much higher capacity - now 8 GB with 12 GB announced;
3. be much less expensive; tho the price for those latter are quite expensive ($9999 for the 8 GB), cards with same capacity are half to a third as much; it's simple mathematics: with much more room inside the CF cards, either you can put chips with the same density and have much higher capacity or less dense chips that are much less expensive to reach the same capacity at much lower prices
