Sony invest in Lexar

In a very interesting piece of news Lexar have received $2 million equity investment from Sony, in conjunction with a strategic partnership to apply their high-speed flash memory controller technology to Sony's Memory Stick. Sony wants their Memory Stick to be able to download 64MB of data in 10 seconds (that's 6.4MB/s boys...) As a part of the agreement Lexar has received license to manufacture and market Memory Stick under their own brand. Memory Sticks for the masses? Anyone else notice that the recently announced "Duo" Memory Stick would fit inside the CF form factor?
