In addition, SST will have far more process geometries available at 0.25u than at 0.18u or 0.13u, and at 0.25u, SST Superflash cost structure is far more competitive at 16 megabit and below than it is at 16 megabit and above.

Yes, 0.25u is the sweet spot right now for wafer cost since most foundries have had time to perfect it. I doubt that 0.18u processes will be readily available to ssti this year. That's the reason behind their latest joint venture, right?
Other than gaining access to advanced process technology, I'm not sure how Bing plans to break into the CF market which looks to have become quite a proprietary animal. May even be a Gorilla Game? SNDK and Sony seem to have divided up the CF market pretty evenly with non-compatible solutions.

Hopefully the cc will shed some light on this.
