Now review Smartchip... For data storage only. NO on board RAM buffers or controllers to place data on the card. All the necessary complementing hardware is on the host device. How would one make a card such as this compatible with numerous platforms? http://www.cingularpr-usvi.com/english/1smartchip.html Hardware on board a removable card... or onboard the host device. IMO...Flashback had all hardware onboard....while Sound clip(Intel..NOR flash) was raw. Integrating the hardware on board a removable card is not a Norris/Daberko idea. SGE...if it's to be your opinion that removable flash in general is their idea...you might consider the differences. Smartchip would be more of their idea....a removable not having on board hardware. doni
