Unfortunately, I dont think that Sandisk's MLC advantage is going to last very long....at least if I understood Samsung's CC correctly.

Message 20034971

- They are producing 1 gigabit chips at a 9:1 ratio to 2 gigabit chips. They expect this ratio to shift to 2:1 favoring the 2 gigabit chips by the end of the year. This will be a result of die shrink (and not MLC). They are focusing on high density chips for MLC....should have a 8 gigabit MLC chip by the end of the year.

OTOH, I believe that Eli recently stated that royalties would be higher if the competition was using MLC.
