In related news, it looks like the recent trend of downward prices for the Ultra 2 are due to a change in flash memory type used. From SLC to MLC. They claim the new process will match the speeds of the old - but it would be primarily a cost cutting exercise IMHO.

How many generations would it require for camera makers to support the higher speeds of these new Extreme cards?

The Extreme III won't help with your D70/ D100/ D2h writing speed, they have a limitation already, perhaps it'll be for the next generation of DSLR, then at that time no more 512 or 1.0Gb/ or 1.0Gb will be the smallest size.
