The last I heard, one of the Japanese manufacturers had bought up the
remaining US product line and was producing them.  Bubbles were never
competitive in size, cost, or speed, but were desireable where ruggedness 
to shock and radiation were desireable (or electrostatic shock).  NSC's 
group had a very nice looking cartridge in the lines of an Atari game 
cartridge.  I think Fujitsu had something similar.
