It's almost as though SanDisk erected the Eiffel Tower... ...and now people are refusing to pay a few francs for an elevator ride to the observation deck. I wanted to thank NY Stew for the Sony article I posted this morning. I still think Sony and Lexar Media are strange bedfellows. It would almost seem that Sony has alienated other manufacturers by their insistance on creating a wholly new and duplicative removable flash standard and fragmenting the consumer market place. I still think the following relationship may have Sony walking on thin ice... "Lexar has given Sony a license to its high-speed flash memory controller technology. It enables 6-10megabytes-per-second write speeds," said Linda Frueh, vice president of business development for Lexar Media. According to another Lexar representative, the new Memory Sticks will be at least an order of magnitude faster than the current design. The new sticks will arrive on store shelves in the first quarter of next year. Pricing information isn't currently available. Sony holds a multi-million dollar stake in Lexar Media." Countervailing opinions welcomed and appreciated. Ausdauer
