Do they actually think other companies are sitting idle? Once a big company like Intel makes this type of technology into a mass produced product, then good-bye FusionIO. They better look at history of high-tech storage / memory and consider the economic climate we are in today instead of focusing on immediate large profit margin and think long term. Who the heck handles their long term strategic planning? Do you guys want to make a quick buck for a year or two or do you want to dominate and expand for years. You can still make money and GROW if the price point was better. Since they are from UTAH, I hope they don't have the same mentality as Novell - look where they are headed to...nowhere. Do you need me to me to run the numbers of mass production vs niche in the next 1-2 years. Slash the cost by a third and you will even detract those looking at the "slower" current SSD drives. Go for it all...the entire market of new generation of SSD.
