By
Samsung Electronics Co. on Monday unveiled a new flash memory chip it says will double storage capacity on portable music players and other mobile devices. The new 50-nanometer NAND Flash memory chip has a capacity of 16 to 32-gigabytes!
Samsung said that by combining 16 such devices on a memory card with a density of up to 32-gigabytes it would be possible to store 200 years worth of an average-sized daily newspaper, 8,000 MP3 music files or 20 DVD movies. Memory cards containing multiple 16-gigabit NAND chips mean “you will be able to take your entire music and personal video libraries with you,” Chang-Gyu Hwang, president of the company’s semiconductor operations, told reporters.
