Thoughts on new Lexar suit.

Aus and Thread,

When I read this today. I had a nice warm feeling in my gut. My biggest fear, that of protecting SNDK's patents, seems to be lifting.

Lexar is showing signs of defeat. John Reimer needs a job after Lexar gets shut down. So, he needs to say "hey, no fair." He needs someone to blame to feel good when getting another job. Sounds like a desperate CEO on some thread dominated by shorts.

I guess I would do the same in his shoes.

I must say SanDisk is clearly cleaning up.

New name for ImageMate.

Aus and thread,

We need to come up with a new name for the ImageMate. Since MP3 sales will soon surpass Digital cameras, to sell an ImageMate would not fit the market completely.

Can we come up with an "Extreme" name that plays well with the generation X and Y ers that will buy a boatload of SanDisk CF and MMC cards for mp3 storage??

I suggest we come up with our top names and submit them to Nelson.

My feeble entries:
Tunage Bay
Tunage Port
Tune Slot
Mouth O'tunes
Mp3Mate
Media Port
Pics n Tunes

All names TradeMarked by Rex Dwyer,
available for a modest license fee.

Ausdauer and thread, HP announced the first rewritable 3GB DVD+RW drive. 11 hours of MP3 or thousands of megapixel snapshots on $30 (penny/MB) media with 100MB/minute (11X) write speeds. Opening price: $699 for a SCSI drive (which is sure to fall over time)

Look for this device to eventually replace CD-RW, tape back-ups, and more. HP has turned Iomega's Jazz drive gravy train into road kill. As a PC back-up, you'll be able to make compressed backups at 5 minutes/GB.

You can count me among the first to own one of these wonder toys!

"DVD+RW offers high capacity with fast access time," said Wolfgang Schlichting, research manager, removable storage at IDC. "IDC believes that rewritable DVD technology can become the universal rewritable storage technology for the desktop."
