Faster rewrite? Higher storage volume? Bring it on...
"Toshiba and its partner, California-based SanDisk, have developed a flash memory chip that can hold up to 1 gigabit, enough for 2 minutes of moving images, Toshiba said Friday. This NAND-type flash memory chip is aimed at packing high-volume data such as moving images and audio onto cell phones and video recorders, according to Kenichi Sugiyama, a Toshiba spokesperson. The NAND-type chip is designed to have faster rewrite characteristics and higher storage volume and is used in memory cards such as Smart Media, Compact Flash and Secure Digital cards for mobile devices."
