RElative to SNDK,

I haven't been following this closely but I think you have to also include IBM's microdisk. I think I recently read that they've up the capacity to 1 gig while shrinking the format and reducing power drain.I believe they quoted over 10 hours of continuous operation on 2 AA batteries. They also announced other camera customers.

I think they also cut the price substantially.

Stan,

I think Cha2 has it right, by playing the Moore basket approach with SNDK and SSTI, enjoying the tornado(es), and waiting to see who emerges as the gorilla.

Are not their core markets different enough that they're playing separate gorilla games? My understanding is that SSTI is doing the embedded thing while SNDK is doing the flash memory thing as a separate card and that there's not much of an overlap between the two. Right? Wrong?

Stan,

I forgot to mention something else.

SanDisk has a large chunk of the compact flash card memory market, but not a majority share.

But don't they have the largest share? (It's been awhile since I've looked at this stuff.) Siebel doesn't have a majority share of their market but they're far and away the dominant leader.
