Flash market is about $16.5B this year,
and current forecast is for something around $25B in 2007. At $1B, this segment represents about 4% of the flash market in 2007. Companies like samsung, STM, micron, and sharp all compete for the lower segments of the market like this one. It is a place to use up some extra assembly/test capacity, but nobody is going to get rich building this stuff.
