TriFlash is here. sandisk.com The point I took away from the press release is that SanDisk has a focused plan to cover both the markets for removable flash cards and ultra-high density embedded data storage. As suggested in the press release earlier this week the MMC/SDMC design-in will allow a shared bus/interface with TriFlash allowing OEM's to mix and match. "Our new embedded flash has a simple three-pin serial interface and can accommodate -- in the same footprint -- all existing and future generations of flash memory." The "Tri" represents the three unique innovations incorporated into TriFlash; Simple, Seamless and Scalable. The simple, high performance serial interface follows the three input/output (I/O) pins of the SPI or MMC industry standards. Coupled with the built-in controller for performing transparently all flash memory management operations, TriFlash is easy and simple to design into virtually any microprocessor/microcontroller platform. The architecture of TriFlash allows the seamless integration of embedded flash with removable MultiMediaCards or Secure Digital Cards for incremental storage. Now there is great planning! Aus

Prophet, if you quote me, please do so in context :-) A week ago, this thread was betting that SNDK would win bigtime and turn LEXR into a cinder <slight exaggeration here for effect>. Today, we've added a dime a share to earnings and LEXR is free to go on their merry way. How these events will affect the share prices of both companies I can't predict. It's nearly certain that SNDK has something up its sleeve. And LEXR has yet to prove that it can operate profitably with or without the SNDK lawsuit. From a shareholder's viewpoint, I (like Art) expected SNDK to be a bit more forthcoming in explaining how they arrived at the terms of settlement. If we learn more in the coming days, it would be very reassuring. Until then, investing in SNDK is a lot like betting on who will be the next U.S. President. Craig
