iPod Minis Moving to Flash Memory (Podcasting News)

August 24, 2005
Apple plans use flash memory for its new iPod Mini MP3 players, industry analysts
said on Wednesday.

Apple is expected to introduce a 4-gigabyte version of the iPod Mini that uses NAND flash memory instead of a hard disk drive for the Christmas season.

"To support production of its flash memory-based iPods, Apple has booked as much as 40 percent of the NAND output of Samsung for the second half of 2005, according to our industry sources," said iSuppli Corp. analyst Nam Hyung Kim.
