Larry, the flash memory market for INTC, AMD, SSTI products is embedded memory, which has the following properties: (a) not encased in plastic, so not removable (b) has low capacity, typically about 2 mb, suitable for programs, small files, address/phone number lists (c) slow read/write times, suitable for limited number of edits/changes (d) not much cheaper than compact flash, but smaller in size because it is on a chip The compact flash used in digital cameras is also capable of being used in portable or hand held computers because it functions exactly like a disk drive, in terms of how the computer sees it.
