*Flash-Memory is used in many hand held audio/video devices, USB memory keys, next generation laptop hard drives, cell phones, etc...

I'm getting my tech dose over at Engadget when I come across an article about SanDisk suing 25 companies for patent infringement!?!?!

Now normally this wouldn't do anything to the cost of tomatoes in Guadalajara ... but one of the several lawsuits has been filed with the International Trade Commission. A previous filing with the ITC by Broadcom against Qualcomm managed to halt all imports of Qualcomm chipset based cellphones.

So in conclusion ... RUN TO THE STORE! RUN! AND BUY ANY AND ALL FLASH BASED DEVICES YOU CAN BEFORE THE SHELVES ARE BARE!!!

For a list of all the companies named in the lawsuits, go here.
