IMO, e.Digital put Intel in a precarious position.

Intel Consortium..."No one is going to touch our NOR because of XIP, even though data is harder to manage than NAND."

Then comes Edig...."see what we can do with NAND? What do you think?"

Intel Consortium....."oh shit, if these guys can do that, we're in trouble, because its easier to develop density on NAND products than it is for NOR products and all it takes is a tiny cache to get a.... comparable XIP!!! What are we going to do?"

And the saga continues....
