Will SD Cards Replace DVDs?

SD cards now have a capacity nearly equal to a dual layer DVD. They're smaller, lighter, and require no moving parts to operate. If the price comes down sufficiently, which I think it might, then it could mean the end of CDs and DVDs. In particular, this might have implications for notebooks. The funny thing is that I never expected this.

Do you think memory cards such as SD cards will replace DVDs?
 
DVDs cost around $1 to write data to, a 1GB SD card costs around $10-20, by the time SD cards are cheap enough to actively replace DVDs we will be using HD media, and SD cards will be playing the catch up game.
 
Sd cards definately have a big future ahead of them, they are allready being used in cheap notebooks that are build around the smallest amount of energy consumption. But they won't replace dvd's or hd-dvd's and bluray. People want to store things like movies, dvd's and such are storage media, and SD cards aren't, they are more of a easily acessible, lightweight mobile medium.
