Apple Rumored to Be After Samsung Flash Memory

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we-wants-it-it's-precious-to-ussss dept.

Steve Nixon writes "An unconfirmed report today from Reuters quotes an industry analyst firm iSuppli as saying that Apple plans to buy as much as 40 percent of Samsung's second-half flash memory output. The NAND flash memory cards will be used in a new, 4 GB iPod Mini, which Apple would release in time for the holiday shopping season, the report stated. The current version of the 4 GB mini contains a hard drive. Apple's iPod Shuffle uses flash memory."

    People, just how many DAPS do you need?

    Hey everyone, throw out your first gen & 2nd gen DAP's because our innovation is sure to please!

    My Creative JB2 is still playing (24/7) since christmas 2001. I liked it so much that I bought an IRiver H320 to be able to record at bitrates up to 320kbs. I suppose I'll buy another upgrade someday but why go lateral when it boils down to "It does the same thing" (but wait... that nasty consumerizm is the monkey on my back and gosh it is from apple!)

    It would be nice to see more features not more stripped-out things that have been done previously.

    Now if it can record at 320kbs and not be DRM heavy, I'll consider it
