The following is a partial repost received from Sandisk: A response to your email on the FRAM article in Forbes. Yes, the writer got somewhat confused on some of his facts. And left other facts out. It's true that FRAMs download data faster than flash but that is not an issue as flash is fast enough for all the applications it is being sold into. The writer says that Frams can download data thousands of times faster than flash yet use one-tenth the power. Wrong. Frams consumer approximately the same amount of power as flash. On the writer's wrong comments about endurance......FRAMs wear out every time they are read. Flash can be read an infinite number of times. Fram today is at least four generations behind flash in terms of development. Fram is only at the 1Mbit level today while flash already is at the 128Mbit level. Fram also is more expensive than flash.

I checked into writing a response to Forbes but won't do it. There is a belief here that doing so elevates the credability of FRAM and gives it even more exposure then it would otherwise get. Bob
