Ausdauer, ever heard of "bubble memory"? Many years ago, I believe it was TI who invented non-volatile memory based upon pushing magnetic bubbles around. It was supposed to be faster and cheaper than RAM. When it finally got out the door it was slow, expensive and unreliable. When and if there are a million chips on shelves that can outrun standard flash, there's nothing to keep SNDK from licensing the technology and quietly tucking it into their flash cards. The thing to remember is that SNDK holds a lot of patents on non-volatile memory that apply whether it's built using upon silicon CMOS or kryptonite. Craig
