Ltd. said on Monday it would start producing next year the world's highest-density flash memory chip, capable of boosting storage in hot-selling devices such as music players and digital cameras. Samsung, which already controls nearly 60 percent of the world's NAND flash market, said in statement commercial production of the new chip would start in late 2006."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/buffer-memory.jpg" /> <br /><br />8O Samsung is talking about producing 32 Gb flash memory cards by the end of 2006! This could put a device like the iPod Nano in the same memory storage class as the current full size iPod. Honestly, I didn't think it would be possible this quickly, but just when you think the last innovation has reared it's head...now for the real question. Will Samsung offer these chips to other Digital Audio Player manufacturers besides Apple?
