Sandisk the New Kodak?

March 3, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Global | Comment |

In a fairly interesting article, the website SFGate has compared the financial fortunes of the memory-maker Sandisk with the ailing giant Kodak (found via Digital Photography Blog):

“The momentum is on the Silicon Valley firm’s side. Sales of digital cameras, which use memory cards to store images, surpassed those of 35mm cameras for the first time in the United States last year. The market grew so fast that it not only outpaced one industry research firm’s 2003 forecast, but also its estimate for this year.

That’s all good news for SanDisk, the largest supplier of memory cards, which some have dubbed the “digital Kodak.”
