Sony and Lexar: Strange Bedfellows

"Die Lexar Memory Sticks sind mittlerweile in Kapazitäten von 16, 32 und 64 MByte erhältlich. Lexar und Sony arbeiten derzeit zusammen an der Entwicklung eines Hochgeschwindigkeits-Memory-Sticks, der unter Verwendung der Lexar Controller-Technologie die Schreib-/Leserate der Memory Sticks drastisch erhöhen soll. Damit sollen 64 MByte in weniger als 10 Sekunden übertragen werden können."

"Lexar and Sony are currently working together on the development of a high-speed Memory Stick which is expected to drastically enhance the read/write speed through the utilization of the Lexar controller technology."

I couldn't find any mention of Sony in the Lexar Registration Statement except for a $2 million dollar investment that was announced earlier this year. Would someone please re-read the SEC filing and determine if any other mention of Sony is made? Strange that Lexar lands a major customer like Sony and there is precious little mentioned about it prior to the IPO. Makes you wonder is Sony will actually be able to utilize Lexar's controller technology at all. And if they do...

...well, at least Sony has deep pockets.
