An interesting technical article by Motoyuki Oishi from TechOn Japan. The article explains Spin-Injection MRAM, its applications, what has been done so far and what needs to be done before it reaches mass market. 

"Spin injection MRAMs have an excellent chance of winning a major market in the future because they combine the functional advantages of existing memories like DRAM and NAND Flash with performance superior to most"

An interesting article in Semiconductors International about Freescale's efforts to bring their MRAM chips to the automative industry. "Automotive customers are more challenging than the military, he said, with “zero defect” programs in place that demand incoming failure rates of <1 part per million (ppm). Freescale is working with most of the major automakers on testing MRAM reliability at the automotive-grade temperature range of 40-125°C."
