Interesting timing for this announcement. It would be nice to have that 32gb chip in the next generation iPhone. Sorry, had to make the iPhone reference.
@Ben There is no way that is true. Apple may be the market share leader in portable MP3 players and many of those use solid state memory but there is _no way_ they are the biggest user.
Cell phones use it. GPS devices. Computers in cars (not some dashboard kind either but the important ones under the hood). Motherboards. ATMs. I could go on for hours.
Many companies in the sectors I named sell more chips than Apple could hope for. Hell RIM is kicking ass in the cell phone market and their phones have the same kind of memory.

While I don't have any hard facts to prove it I would bet that Apple is the biggest user of OEM SSD NAND chips at the moment.
