Flash file system

This patent seems to make it nearly impossible to develop any non-proprietary software for an important section of the embedded devices market. It claims the logcial consequences of the fact that in flash memory blocks data can only be stored and replaced in blocks of 64k or similar. And it is not the only EPO-granted stumbling block in this area.
