Fresh off the news wire: SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) and Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM) announced today that they will jointly develop integrated-circuit solutions for a variety of digital imaging applications, specifically those that use Iomega's latest disk drive family, clik!(TM).

We are confident that Iomega's new drive will fit comfortably in a new generation of highly integrated system architectures in the digital camera market," added Raby.
