Eric L: Since possible smart card investments seem hard to find, are Atmel (ATML) or Infineon possible ways to participate - at least in a small way - per your last para?

"Flash is not yet widely used in smart cards, or in the smart card form factor. Atmel as I noted is an exception. Seems to me Infineon (Siemens spinoff) has a relationship with SanDisk. Infineon is the largest manufacturer of microprocessor smart card chips for "IC Cards", but these chips are only about 10% of their semiconductor production. Smart card chips are "on allocation" and their is a significant shortage of them, which is an industry problem."

Best.
