Jim and Thread,

SmartMedia (32 MB variety) is now #122 on the top 1000 list
at CNET undoubtedly due to Rio PMP sales and the success of
two digital cameras, the Olympus C2000 & Fuji MX2700.

I know it is unrealistic to hope to win all design-ins, but I just think about
where we might be today if CF had beat out SmartMedia in these devices.

I am glad we are going to have our own SmartMedia offerings at
retail to try and get some table scraps. I still believe it is just
a matter of time before SmartMedia begins to fade. I think they are
nearing the limits of capacity given that the form factor is too
thin to stack chipsets.

The importance of the retail exclusivity agreements cannot be
downplayed in this regard.
