Art, re: the Lexar press release. Seems like Lexar is gasping for air here. Could this be a death knell? I think it is ludicrous to say that there has been false advertising. What the hell. There hasn't been any advertising at all. We have pointed out the fact that there has been a notable absence of advertising many times on this thread. Also, where do they come up with "anti-competitive"? CompactFlash is an open standard, as is the MultiMedia Card. That is the whole point of the CFA and the MMCA. If anything SanDisk has made the technology available to others rather than trying to dominate the market. Finally, Lexar has already proven that they can be a good competitor with their write speed innovations and USB firmware. It adds to the lunacy of their argument to say that SanDisk has attempted to drive them out of the market. In fact, in some ways the press release seems more like an advertisement with most of the text devoted to their technology and little in the way of substantive information regarding the suit. Is it libelous to say that someone else has been libelous without grounds or is this just legal posturing? Ausdauer
