Indeed - unfortunately, the last I heard of it, many fabrication facilities aren't even producing much, if any, flash memory at all, in order to clear existing inventory.

It's a vicious circle I guess. Prices aren't going to go down until people start buying more, and people aren't going to buy more until prices come down. It's a shame because 18 months ago things were looking pretty rosy. Prices were falling and higher capacity cards just kept appearing. Now the SDXC specification has been effective since, what, March this year? And nobody's interested in producing.
