Old news about Siemens - Sandisk partnership but still exciting: techweb.com The article said that Sandisk and Siemens have worked together since 1995. Wow! That's a long time ago. This company's management really has a long term vision. More reading on MMC: techweb.com Article said that in the long term, as storage capacity will improve, the MMC may compete with CompactFlash because of the small foot print. It also said that cost per MByte will get down to $0.80. So that means I can buy a 128MByte MMC for my digital cam for about $100, quite affordable price range. With 128 MBytes, I can store 640 high resolution pictures. That's more than enough for me. I don't see why I need to buy a Clik! It doesn't matter if Clik only costs 0.20 per MByte. I will buy something that will never break because it's affordable. IOM cannot get the cost of the Clik that much lower because it's mechanical and requires assembly time, while chips are made of sand and it's just a matter of getting better yield from the die. ============================= Thanks Esa, for the very interesting TA site. After I finish reading the book recommended by Loren and read this TA site, I may be a TA expert in a couple of months.
