- Spansion Eyes Flash Mass Storage
When Electronic News interviews Bernard Cambou in charge for AMD flash division Spansion,  we have the chance to learn about a ferocious appetite that bodes rather well for the future of the stockholders: "We will definitely go for the whole market. We're going after mass storage," said Cambou. "We're going after the NAND market using the same basic Mirrorbit technology. It's easy to design NAND using Mirrorbit."
