But, suppose a 1DsMk3 (not likely) and a 30D are announced at PMA that use memory sticks? Then jumping on a 4 GB CF card might be a bad move if a major manufacturer indicates that sticks will be the new 'standard'. I'm just playing a Devil's advocate. If the price of 4 GB cards is great now, then the lowered prices should hold after PMA. I think I'm going to wait and see what's announced before I dive into buying one. Better safe than be stuck with a CF card of potentially dubious value.
