Jim, Windows CE support for flash memory is one more example of expanding uses for storage devices that consume little power and are rugged enough to withstand the shocks of typical mobile systems, whether it be a PDA or a system installed in vehicles. The demand is likely to be for both embedded and removable memory. The embedded memory would store the system and other software that undergoes little change over a year or two. The removable memory would store data files, images, etc. The device would be able to boot almost instantly, and the power requirements would be much less than for devices using a hard drive or CD for long term storage. Should be interesting to see if demand picks up soon enough to eliminate all the price cutting and pressures on margins. Art
