It's a wonderful concept,
but they have few "real" cameras to back it up--and established
camera-makers are not *about*
to forget 110 and The Disc. Their digital cameras and systems show
similar disregard for
important Real-World concepts.

Well, not to be argumentative... heck, yes, to be argumentative, why not.;-)
I think there are more APS cameras on the market made by the major
camera manufacturers, than there were 110 or disc cameras. Minolta,
Nikon, Pentax, etc, all have APS models, and usually several to choose from.
But you are absolutely correct that Kodak has a business plan involving
introducing new formats when sales begin to drop.
However, the idea of giving away 100 rolls of film to sell a scanner is
a new one for them. Of course, they keep their lab clients happy, by
providing them business, while selling them chemistry and papers (this
stuff comes without processing, I'm quite sure).
