"I thought it was limited but if its in "many applications" like AMD says and the new flash is priced right, its major." It depends on the exact characteristics of the device. For many applications it can be significant, since most embedded applications are read only. You have to remember that embedded ranges from "zero cost", the extremely high volume like toasters and light switches, to "zero volume" like what the military uses on ships and airplanes. The closer you get to "zero cost", the more important things like these parts are. At a guess I would say that currently these chips aren't all that important. But the future is very, very bright. Depending on the temperature profile, they could find a market in every automobile. Don't think PDA's, think next gen. cell phones. Eventually, think blenders and microwaves...
