P2 Pricing Speculation

I forget where I read this first, but here it is at the MacObserver.

Because of the rapid achievement of ever-higher storage capacities, the amount of data that can be stored will soon increase to many times present levels. P2 Cards with up to 128 GB storage capacity are no longer considered just a dream for the future. Soon such a card will enable 144 minutes of DVCPROHD signals (100 Mbps) to be recorded uninterrupted on a single P2 Card. At a data rate of 25 Mbps (DVCPRO), the recording time will total 576 minutes or almost 10 hours!

And this is supposedly information from Panasonic. I wonder how quickly, and how expensive these solutions will be though.

I have also seen mention of 16GB and 32GB cards in the "near" future.
 
According to this graph:

Around 2007 OR LATER for 128GB!! Hopefully alot sooner for the 16 and 32's.

The factor leading to the price dropdown will be P2 becoming the consumer card format. If it does get accepted by masses, then we'll get our price drop.
