>>What products currently use OUM phase change technology?<< There are no current products with OUM (Ovonyx Universal Memory). Tyler Lowrey said a few weeks ago that the first OUM products would be coming from Lockheed Martin (rad-hard applications) in a couple months (so that would be about 5 weeks from now). At the recent ECD conference call Bob Stempel said that Intel, with half the Ovonyx (the ECD-Lowrey JV) team are at the Santa Clara plant working on the first production samples (for Flash). There is a difference between OUM and phase-change. OUM is the electrically switched embodiment of phase change. Rewritable disks are the optically switched version. Per the Ovonics website literature, phase-change is based on chalcogenide material, which is an amorphous, atomically engineered material patented by ECD. You might want to check their website: ovonic.com And for more detailed technicals on OUM, check the Ovonyx site: ovonyx.com ovonyx.com The second link contains a link to an 80-page acrobat slide show. My reference to current products available now is to RW optical media. If you buy a CDRW, DVDRW or DVDRAM disk, it has ECD phase-change technology inside. Also, I believe ECD's photo-voltaic cells are phase-change based. These are high-output, extremely rugged (because of the amorphous properties) and soon to be low-cost. You can buy them as shingles for your roof... wily
