"To me it's 'Patents last stand'   lol"

I see that gyro just slightly a wobble....lol

It has always been about patents for me anyway. We've just had to wait out the dying effect of.... ROM,  battery backed RAM, NOR flash(parallel), asic processes,  the bloatware of translation(RAM burdened virtual management)....etc...as they relate to CE.

While waiting for the advancements in serial flash(NAND).

Seems many are now hitching their wagon, including Intel. For e.Digital, their high bandwidth through their firmware to and from the more simplified matrix of serial flash compared to NOR is a winner.

 The consolidation I mentioned in a previous post, is the switch to NAND in a big way by the industry. 

 I consider this to be a pinnacle shift coming right down our path.
