Dave, you've just asked the $64,000 question, and I doubt that any of us has the answer. I have little concern that SNDK flash cards may be more expensive than the competition, but I do wonder if SNDK is able to get any royalties from the sale of similar cards by other manufacturers. If not, then I think SNDK will have to lower its prices and/or improve production efficiencies in order to make a decent profit. If, on the other hand, SNDK does receive royalties, then I really don't care what SNDK charges for its own cards, as long as the cash is rolling in from competitors. Art
