I have no idea how it would work....for now the partner deals are.

Sandisk(interface IP)/Toshiba(memory)

Lexar(interface IP) / Intel, Micron(memory) joint name IM Flash Technologies

?(interface IP) / Samsung(memory)

"Intel Corp., Micron Technology Inc. and SanDisk Corp. were among the 11 companies that made a bid to acquire Lexar Media Inc., according to a new report."

"Flash-memory product rival SanDisk also made a bid to acquire Lexar for Rs.387.19 ($8.75) a share, Chillara said while Micron's bid for was said to be Rs.358.87 ($8.11) a share. "We believe SanDisk was interested in the IP portion of Lexar,"

IMO as well, Sandisk was biding to take out Lexar....in any event Micron/Intel got it, problem for them, they're late to the game as far as NAND goes.
