civic duty...

Kind of an ironic situation...his approach to social interaction and education...be smart, gain knowledge, understand the past hardships of others...and then meet me in the back room and I'll beat the daylights out of you, I own the NAND SD form factors.

All these guys that have reached a pinnacle in life feel they owe something back to society in some fashion. Thing is, someone like he still has territory to protect...where we are most definitely aware of that fact. e.Digital is light years ahead of anyone in that audience...and the game is so rough one can't even fathom it.

The only chance the audience has, is to hope to get a job working for someone like he. Their was a sign of life form one of the students...asking him "regarding the handheld MP3... etc CE market ...they are consolidating to the phone devices....Is it in the future for Sandisk to move in that direction as an OEM for phones? He answered...with out answering. That student was wise to what Sandisk is doing, now being OEM for CE.

Sandisk now offering CE products to the public, is so that he can move more memory products.

And by the way, he states he invented the removable market. Thing is, someone else's removable patent is standing between he and his CE ventures to move that memory as fast as he can.
