Sandisk declined Samsung bid

Samsung has mad an $5.8 billion offer to buy Sandisk, the largest
manufacturer of memory cards.
Some of the reasons must be the large amount of royalties Samsung pays
for the use of Sandisk flash technology and the wide distribution and
retail brands for Sandisk's products.

Currently Sandisk works with Toshiba through agreements. Sandisk
provides the technology and knowledge, while Toshiba provide the chips
and operates the factories. SanDisk then puts these chips in products
such as microSD cards for cell phones, SD cards for digital cameras,
and USB drives.
