>There is already quite an advanced industry in "Smart Cards" ie >credit cards that contain up to say half a Mgbt of personal credit >information. I'm not sure that CF has much to offer in that direction >but I could be wrong. I was thinking about smart cards too. Maybe CF has no future in that but I was wondering if some of Sandisk's patents encompass the flash chips used in those cards. If, let's say, they used NAND gated chips there too, maybe Sandisk can get some royalties. Does anyone know anything about this area?
