Toshiba Announces 128 GB NAND Chip

"Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced the launch of a 128-gigabyte (GB) embedded NAND flash memory module, the highest capacity yet achieved in the industry. The module is fully compliant with the latest e •MMCTM standard, and is designed for application in a wide range of digital consumer products, including smartphones, tablet PCs and digital video cameras. Samples will be available from September, and mass production will start in the fourth quarter (October to December) of 2010."

128 GB looks so tiny - but tiny enough to blow away pretty much the highest-end storage options on cell phones today! At this rate, I'll have Windows Phones in the future that have more storage than most of my older hard drives - pretty cool. Now let's hope that these appear in our hardware sometime soon!
