Any APS film in 5 years ?..

I have just looked at Agfa's page about their APS films(s) :
http://www.agfa.com/photo/products/consumer/aps_star/

A few years ago, they had an incredible 100 ASA, which I used
intensively with my Vectis S-1. It was very saturated and with a correct
grain. Last year (or perhaps before), they dropped it out.
And now I only see the 200, so they surely have dropped the 400 also. I
wonder if they will still manufacture APS film in a few years... I liked
their films, and with MRC it was very practicle to change from 100 to
400, so I never used 200 (I found it has a large grain compared to 100
and not so fine compared to 400)...
I find Fuji too dull, and Kodak sometimes not very well balanced (but
that's only my opinion.). They are forcing me to take back my 135 camera.
Snip !

Here in the U.S., I haven't seen Agfa's APS film for at least a year
now. Nor have I seen 100-speed APS film in any brand offered at
retail.

I'm on record here as predicting a 2008 date for the majors to exit
the market. Someone like Ferrania may or may not step in, but I see
no reason to change that prediction.
