Flash memory pricing

Why are these things dropping in price pretty much every day?
I mean I just bought a 2gb drive for £9.00!
And then today recieved spam advertising for one for £18 for 4gb!!

4GB pro duos = 60 quid, 2 gig SD for 12 quid,

I remember paying £60 for a 1gb not long ago, is there something going on in the electronics industry or something?

It's the way it's always been. Price/MB drops exponentially. It always has. True in the case of hard disks, true in the case or RAM.

Aye, look at £/GB costs on hard disks. It's incredible what you can get now.
