Binx and Thread, re: What's your take? from: Lexar Media press releases (http://www.lexarmedia.com/company/comp-press.html#pr28) Private Placement of Convertible Preferred Shares "Lexar is a 'pure play' investment in the digital photography market," said Rob Stone, Senior Analyst, SG Cowen Securities Corporation. "They've done a terrific job of branding their digital film and are leading the market in providing innovative new products like USB-enabled CompactFlash, which we believe will provide them a sustainable competitive advantage." I hardly see a difference between a USB card reader and a JumpShot cable with a USB-enabled CF card. Over a year ago I added the software driver for my SanDisk parallel port ImageMate CompactFlash card reader and I have had no problems since. Is JumpShot a real technological advance or is this just hype? lexarmedia.com lexarmedia.com Ausdauer SanDisk...See the Big Picture

I spoke too soon in post # 7779. I emailed (StevenKent@aol.com)to ask if MSNBC had followed up. I got the following reply (disinformation) from Steve. << Did MSNBC ever issue a correction to your story? >> I sent the correction in as soon as I heard about it--stating only that other units sported Flash Memory. They must have done some research because they altered the story to say: "Obviously the Diamond Rio, Creative Labs Nomad and RCA Lyra all appeared on store shelves before Memory Stick Walkman, but all of these units except the Rio have only built-in storage. With Memory Stick Walkman as with Rio and its flash port you could conceivably carry extra Memory Sticks to expand your music selection."
