Aus, This Lexar lawsuit has taken on a life of it's own. From my limited experience in these things, the companies bluster and throw away money for a while, and then usually settle and get on with their business. This seem unusual in it's intensity. Now you've got Lexar making memory stick for Sony, and you've got Lexar and SanDisk in an apparently unsettleable lawsuit, and you've got SanDisk as the inventor and IP owner of the standard that competes with Sony's standard. Is it a stretch to think that Sony is pulling strings somewhere behind the scenes in this? Do they have an ownership interest in Lexar? Wonder what the terms of their supply contract are with Lexar. Probably my imagination running wild again. But reasonable folks would have figured a way to settle this thing by now. John
