"Couldn't 445 be included in non-removable flash appliances as part of the chip technology?".....Yes... and beyond that IMO.

"Have we included Samsung in the first group of infringers to get at the chip issue prior to going after the major chip producers?"

I have no idea what the strategy is in regard to Samsung....other than what we're told....audio/modular.

At the moment, they're not breaching the group, there is no telling the former alliances between the 7, or who does what for who.

It will take non alliances to do as I've suggested in previous rantings.
