You can also see a certain trend in computer media with a "step backward": tape reels, 8" disks, 5.25" disks, 3.5" disks, minidiscs, but then: CDs and DVDs again at 5.25"-like form factor [...]
I'd like to see that form factor (and cartridge!) instead of today's CD and DVD formats.
PS. And I forgot about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniDVD (CDs too of course, and both also in business card form).
Yeah, not that popular (it seems the size of standard optical media doesn't bother us that much after all), but certainly around - for drivers and such, or as recordable media. And Gamecube...
