CDs 'could be history in five years'

You knew this was coming: the CD 'could be history in five years', replaced by a new generation of fingertip-sized memory tabs with no moving parts. Actually, I think the CD-ROM is already being supplanted by recordable DVD-ROM. The 600 megabyte capacity of a CD-ROM is too limiting. Also, for content that doesn't need long-term permanent storage any of the plethora of flash media cards will suffice. Compact Flash cards are already available in the 4GB range.
