In the past for memory news,  most readers were not  paying attention to the difference between the anatomy, they considered it to be all the same and that is how articles presented it..without difference.IMO, to protect the positions of the different factions.

For the most part...you never saw them noted as different in the media...now you do. When an article is written it is now very specific to the type.

Intel factions NOR sat on one side while Samsung factions NAND sat on the other.

Intel had to act....that happened late 2005

Now that Intel(an American Corp.)  has alined, will that benefit e.Digital an American Corp.?

 If you have been following recent news of IP(intellectual Property rights) issues. It is starting to appear that IP is becoming very important to country of origin....especial the US.

 Did e.Digital try to warn Intel 5 years earlier?

I do not see Intel as an imitate target for obvious reasons...however, will they try to reinvent around e.Digitals serial process(which IMO will be hard to do)....or aline as they did with Msystems for NOR anatomy?

 Intel has started and spearhead an initiative for NAND standards.
