That being said, I'm sure there is or will be a competing system in which they just give you the CD-rom scanned in from the developed negative of a disposable camera.

They've been doing that for some time. It's an option you check on the developing envelope. Some places now just do it and charge you an extra $1 or so that you didn't notice. There is one that is actually marketed that way and does say "digital" on it -- I saw it at Target, but don't recall the manufacturer.
