Actually, no.
Historically, Moore's Law is shown to apply to systems as well as components.
Moore's Law applies to all components in parallel, thus also applies to the
aggregate. Otherwise, we'd all be using 2 GHz microprocessor chips with 40MB
hard drives and 100 kB/S system busses. :-)
But of course, it is true that the flash cards you own today won't get faster
by plugging them into a faster camera, but who's going to want a "puny" 512 MB
Compact Flash card when cameras have take 32 MP images, and the sweet spot on
the capacity/price curve is at 6 GB? :-)
