CF is very popular in embedded devices. Like it or not it is used in higher quality Cameras. It can potentially be used in any device with an IDE port, so in reality many devices are CF capable even if not advertised that way.

You'd be hard pressed to find anything else recent that uses CompactFlash.
Well I guess that the photography mag I was browsing at the store the other day got it all wrong. I could have sworn that Nikon latest best of the breed Digital SLRs are using CF.

In any event I'd be happy to see a host USB port that would allow me to use the multitude of adapters available for compact flash and a lot of other technologies.
