Quisiera agregar tres cosas mas, en primera hay quienes cuestionan el uso de las memorias flash USB como medio para distribuir video, propiamente peliculas; les digo que distan mucho de llegar a ser obsoletas en unos años, sino todo lo contrario, el mercado de memorias flash USB esta emergiendo y creciendo, y muestra desde ahora el potencial para usarse para peliculas, lo cual como mencione ya esta contemplado para dentro de unos años; lean esto...

SanDisk took the top spot among global vendors in the $11.5 billion memory card and USB flash drive (UFD) market last year, according to DRAMeXchange. SanDisk posted $2.93 billion in sales, followed by Sony with $1.73 billion. Coming in third at $1.13 billion is Kingston. U.S. channel brand PNY took the fourth place with $715 million sales. Moreover, Taiwan's Transcend secured the top-five position with sales of $619 million.

DRAMeXchange analysts indicate that SanDisk, with the capacity backup from the Toshiba JV, recorded shipments of its microSD card soared by 128 percent y-on-y in fiscal year 2007, generating an equivalent sales of $1.4 billion. The firm also achieved a good sales record of $1 billion in SD and CF card markets—the two market segments mainly dominated by digital camera. In the UFD market, SanDisk hit a 54 percent y-on-y shipment growth, generating sales of $500 million. SanDisk successfully took the lead in both memory card and UFD markets in terms of sales in FY07.

Sony is known to create its proprietary memory card standard, Memory Stick, for its own-brand Cyber-shot cameras and Sony Ericsson handsets. Owing to its foothold in respective segments (Cyber-shot ranks second and SonyEricsson ranks as top five), it generated a sales amount of over $1.7 billion from both Memory Stick and UFD on a relative high ASP than other memory card/UFD.

According to the report, number one DRAM module maker Kingston uses its established global connections to foster its NAND flash memory sales over recent years. Its sales scale of over $500 million in UFD market in 2007 has allowed it to reach a level similar to SanDisk.

DRAMeXchange analysts also indicates that being one of the top five memory card and UFD makers in 2007, Transcend was the only player from Taiwan. Its year-long strategic deployment and channeling in branded sales allowed the synergy of brandname to start emerging since 2006. This emergence is evident in its growing market share in Europe, India and China. By including its success sales record from Japan, it achieved a sales amount of $619 million from memory card and UFD in 2007.

According to the memory card and UFD sales from the above vendors, SanDisk, Kingston and PNY are the three top players. Sony also takes a heavy role in the market, not only because of its proprietary memory card standard, but also its influence in both digital camera and handset markets.

As for Taiwan vendors, DRAMeXchange analysts believe that their influence is set to grow further amid the aggressive deployments in emerging markets and channels over the next few years.

En segunda en respuesta a lo que menciona Carlos Alanis, y para quienes creen que la tendencia es hacia las descargas digitales, lean lo siguiente...

Netflix has announced that Xbox 360 owners who are subscribers to the rental service will be the first to receive HD streaming capability for Netflix's 15,000 strong streaming library. The feature will be added on November 19th with the launch of the "New Xbox Experience" dashboard update. According to Steve Swasey, vice president of marketing at Netflix, 300 HD titles will be available at launch and that Microsoft is implementing a soft rollout for the service.

"As we're adding content to the site all the time, we will continue to add high-def content, but it's not the major emphasis because it is a small number in the total 12,000 [videos] available to stream," Swasey added. To be able to use the service you must have an Xbox Live account and be a Netflix subscriber with a plan that costs more than $5 USD a month, the minimum.

"Netflix has been on a roll. They realize that partnerships are integral in the connected world we live in today. The HD thing is really interesting. I can see a business model emerging in the long term where they charge for the streaming. It makes sense. It's a great value add," added Joshua Martin, a Yankee Group analyst.

Por ultimo, si se preguntan... ¿Por qué está pasando todo esta crisis economica mundial? ¿Por qué está afectando a tantos países y al mundo en general?... la mejor explicación a la crisis y a las razones por las que ha surgido la ha dado un español, Leopoldo Abadía, a la que ha denominado como Crisis NINJA (acrónimo de No Incomes, No Jobs and Assets), refiriéndose a las personas que no tienen ingresos, ni trabajos ni activos, y que han desatado la tormenta al, evidentemente, no poder hacer frente a los gastos con los que pagar los créditos hipotecarios, que les fueron concedidos por esas empresas que no supieron medir el elevado riesgo en el que caían; inclusive él ratifica lo que todos han aconsejado para salir adelante de todo esto.
