Hi ray :-)
The kickflash 1Gb module is said to be a sort of "ram disk", application would be to have a non volatile ram disk (it is a flashrom after all ;-) ) you would like to use for some kiosk or stb style boxes.
in an interactive device with touch screen, per example, it would replace entirely the hard drive (no need for one in such device, and 1Gb is sufficient for most applications and theirs datas and you don't have to write to disk), and thus will permit a totally silent device, without forgetting the gain on power comsomption.
Another BIG interest for this is it's TOTAL immunity to Viruses, as a flashrom can be made electricaly NOT WRITABLE by a simple jumper or keyswitch :-)
