THere was stuff a bit like MRAM\, I think called FRAM some time back -- 
??1980s?? by people called RAMTRON or something. Densities were not fantastic 
and the endurance was limited not only by writing, but also reading. ie. 100M 
reads or writes and it was dead.

I certainly won't cry if flash goes away, but I hunch it will be a while 
before MRAM becomes a serious competitor (ie. can be made cheaper than NAND).
