Lexar trying to get Toshiba NAND chips banned
25th April 2006
Lexar is under the impression that Toshiba is infringing on its’ patents, and wants to stop production of certain Toshiba NAND chips. Why do you care? NAND chips are the basic building blocks of flash cards – SD, MMC, CF, xD, etc. If Toshiba can no longer produce NAND chips, at least until this suit is handled, that likely means higher prices for memory cards around the board. Not to mention a possible temporary shortage, as Toshiba is a major producer. We’ll have to wait this one out and hope for the best. Via The Digital Photography Weblog.
