Removable media, be it SD card, flash drive, floppy or CD-ROM is
expensive when compared to non-removable media, which can take
advantage of being integrated into an overall design.
Indeed. Probably not. I reckon rotating media will fade away for most
people in a few years, in the medium term followed by desktop
computers, followed by full-function notebooks and full-function
general-purpose OSs.
The individual PC itself is probably going to go away, except for power users.
