Denali has posted a webcast on its website, https://www.denali.com/webcasts "NAND Flash: A Different Kind of Product and a Different Kind of Marketplace". In this 40-minute webcast, Lane Mason, Denali's Memory Market Analyst, discusses several of the almost unique characteristics of the rapidly growing and changing NAND flash market,

Follow up:

which has in just 6 years moved to the forefront of the semiconductor memory market in terms of low price per MB, exceedingly high volume shipments, massive industry investment in manufacturing facilities, and widespread usage in many consumer products for code, data and media file storage. All this has happened despite the lack of cleanly-defined standards in device operation, a chaos of product roadmaps and specs on both the NAND product side and on the applications side, plummeting prices which promise to open up new markets and push aside existing 'media storage' technologies and pioneer new consumer products requiring low cost solid state storage solutions. The NAND flash market, in all its dimensions, could not be more different from the industry's predecessor...PC DRAMs...in terms of high-volume commodity memory for process driving, adherence to strong industry standards, business models, and various other features of the marketplace and NAND industry practices. Tune in to this webcast and hear more about how Denali sees the NAND flash promise...price and performance... and its challenges for the industry in the few years ahead.
