IMHO, the Nikon/Lexar deal does not bode well for SNDK.

If this deal is just to put a Lexar flash card in Nikon cameras, then I presume the only commitment Nikon have made is to buy a certain volume, and price would have been a very important factor in that. There would be no long term 'design ins' or any other lock in for Lexar would there?

So I just see this, unless there are some other facts I dont know, as a simple "who can sell me xxx,000 CF cards at the cheapest price?" issue and not a strategic one.
