FYI - Barrons has a piece on it STEC (pg 30 by Tiernan Ray)

Upshot is:

a) they have 18 month lead over everyone
b) they ONLY sell to EMC SUN etc and deals with IBM
and HP might be coming soon.

The kind of flash drives that STEC sells are expected
to rise 227% between '07 - '12.

To quote the author:
"Its STEC's game to lose."

Founder says

-- 30 flash-memory-drive patents
-- 53 pending patents
Seagate filed patent infringement but dropped the filing.

Article ends:
More likely to be bought out than pushed out.
