It depends. Most of the contracts were signed in areas that aren't being hit as hard, like Palm. Remember, just because Intel has to give their flash away, doesn't mean that OEMs can reasonably substitute it for AMD flash. Even if the lower erase cycles and higher power requirements of the Intel chips are ok, you still have to re-design... My comments were based on concerns that demand for the higher quality, more expensive flash produced by AMD will weaken as well. ted
