Lexar is reworking its product to avoid the flap no matter what happens. Reimer said the logic behind reworking its products is simple -- make the Sandisk suit, which kicks off Oct. 23, moot.

Even without the long time scale this might take (if its possible at all, if it was why haven't others), what about the fact that;
1) There will be a delay between design and production and test and shipment - what happens to all those cards in stores and inventory at present?
2)What about damages for whats happened so far?

Plus, it wont work like that anyway. Lets say they redesign. Almost certainly, there will be grounds for Sandisk to challenge that as well. Maybe with an injunction if they already won the first round? Those people buying Lexar stock at the moment either know something, or, I suspect, dont!

Sam, it is always better to be the market leader than #2.

Last night, when Jay Leno asked the leading female sex symbol from HBO's "Sex In The City" what she felt that Hugh Hefner felt about her visit to the Playboy Mansion West, she replied "(per Mel Brooks)" ... "it is good to be king".
