Straight Life and Thread: I think others may be able to answer this better than I can. The thin flash memory card with encryption capabilities, with many design features originating with SNDK, can be used in a CDMA appliance for storing info, such as e-mail, or it can be used to store program code for accessing web sites with a CDMA appliance. I believe some palm type computing devices already include a flash card. The trend, as I see it, is for very rapid growth in demand for small, pocket devices for wireless access to Internet sites for e-mail, stock quotes, updated information from one's own firm, and other activities such as finding out more about a business contact while away from the home office. No palm computer or similar equipment would be successful in performing these activities without some low power, non-volatile memory. The growth estimates that have appeared in many news releases are, if anything, understated because the fact is that the average person is far more content being able to handle essential information needs from a palm computer rather than lugging even a 3-lb. full scale computer around.
