Sam, The author of the article makes some good points about the demand environment and the need for increased production.

<<Driven by demand for handheld and wireless consumer, computer and communications devices flash bit volumes increased by triple-digit figures between 2005 and 2008. NAND flash bit volume is forecast to increase by 83 percent in 2009 and is expected to double each year through 2013.>>

It will be interesting to see how this demand translates into increased capital equipment expenditures - a complex process that will lead to positive results, but just how good is the question.
