Seriously. As long as the tech is doubling in capacity every few weeks, the last thing we want is a standard. Just a couple of years ago, you used to put 700MB on a CD. For the moment you can put 8GB on a dual-layer DVD. There is really no point in another standard until you get another order of magnitude increase in capacity when the technology is moving this fast.
