Wiley, I've been thinking about the discussion y'all have been having on the latest OUM patent pertaining to the new chalcogenide material that allows direct overwrite and multilevel programing. That material should also allow faster rewrites and more storage for CDRW and DVDRW disks, no? Or do you think that only can be done electrically?

NROM -- yet more flash-replacement competition to watch

nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com

specs look intriguing:

- CMOS-based process + 2-4 extra masks

- 3F**2 cell, 2 bits per cell

- 0.08 sq. microns per bit using 0.17 micron process

- 100K erase cycles, 1.8-3.6V operation

so, what's the catch?
