Jay, SanDisk has created two de facto standards in two consumer megamarkets.

from today's Innogear press release:

Bob Fullerton, president and chief product officer, Innogear, Inc. said, "The small-size, high-capacity, reliability and ruggedness of SanDisk's MultiMediaCard, has made it the de facto memory card standard for MP3 players as more than 75 MP3 players use the MultiMediaCard. Using MP3 compression technology, more than an hour of music can be stored on a SanDisk 64MB MultiMediaCard."

Ausdauer
MP3 = MMC = de facto standard = megamarket = SanDisk = retirement
