The largest ascynchronous project (to my knowledge)is the MiniMips that was developed at Caltech 1997 and has 1.5 M transistors. It was modelled after the R3000 mips architecture.
The best selling larg scale asynchronous circuit seems to be a micro controler that Philips developed and used in a pager series.
It i quite obvious why they persists. Memory stick is Sony technology so it is Sony that earns money if somebody buys a memory stick.
If you have a Sony Vaio and wants a MP3 player (almost mp3...) would not memory stick player seem tempting??
If you you have a Sony DV-camcorder, would not other a Sony laptop with memory stick reader be tempting...
If you have a Sony digital camera would not...
If you have a Sony...
And suddendly Sony, if Sony succeeds with the scheme, they will sell lots of memory sticks (the most expensive format per MB) and probably more importantly if a person has bought something from Sony he/she/it will be more likely to buy from Sony again so the equipment can interact easily.
Sony does not get it? I think the question is if they can succeed. Personly I think it would be a wise move from their side to dump the memory stick price for a while, to get more people hooked...

I wonder if I can convince the EU to block all mail from USA. That is where I get almost all of my spam from.
