Gap has its "Everyone in Leather/Denim/Plaid/Whatever" ad campaign. Intel has "Everything in 65 Nanometers." The latest tech to move hence is its embedded NOR flash products.
What does this mean for you? Faster, cooler-running PDAs, cellphones, and even fax machines and printers, wherein programs are executed directly from the flash, akin to standard RAM, instead of operating more like mass storage, as is the case with common NAND flash. Isn't science fun? Press release follows.

Now Intel Embedded Flash Moves to 65nm, Too__August 21, 2007
In support of the fast-growing and diverse embedded market segments, today we've announced plans to transition our embedded NOR flash products to the 65-nanometer (nm) manufacturing process. The shift will provide additional price performance balance for our flash customers, and ensure support for extended product life cycles. What devices use embedded flash? Embedded flash can be found in a wide range of consumer electronics devices, wired communications equipment and industrial applications ranging from PDAs and communications base stations to fax machines and printers. Intel was first to ship 65nm NOR flash
Mulit-Level Cell (MLC) in volume in November of last year.
