There are a few questions that I had...

1) Is there any site we can link to that publishes spot prices for flash memory? We need to at least have some barometer of price stability rather that learning of the bad news via an earnings warning. Overproduction (read: Hitachi) remains a critical issue in the intermediate term.

2) Why is it that 64 MB of SDRAM costs $49.99 and sports 8 X 64MBit SDRAM chips on a single memory module? I would think that a 64 MB flash memory card made with a single 512 Mbit flash chip or two 256 Mbit chips plus the controller (and plastic housing) must be a high margin item when priced at two to three times the retail price of the 64 MB SDRAM module.
