I wouldn't say HDDs are going to be gone "soon", unless you mean in 10 years (baring a major breakthrough).
$800 for a 64GB card is a ton of money when you can get 1TB HDDs for >$100. However, flash devices/SSDs will eventually come way down in price and way up in storage capacity. When both of those happen then HDDs will fade away.

Solid state ftw. On another note, who still uses compact flash cards?

Many high end digital cameras that are designed for professional photographers still use Compact Flash.

WTF, selective retailers..... Now I'll have to wait even longer and hope that recession keeps bring prices lower. Maybe it might force them to make it general retail.
