It will be nice to see two of these in the iPod Touch.
Considering that Toshiba makes the flash chips for the iPhone (and thus most likely the iPod touch), I guess that is going to happen, perhaps in time for the Christmas shopping rush?
Would also be nice to see a 32gig iPhone, would finally have enough space for a reasonable amount of movies or high bitrate music (my cd collection alone practically filly my first gen 16gig iPhone, and thats only at 128kbps)
I was just wondering how this new NAND was different from the kind that the Touch has. Does the current 32GB Touch have 2x16GB?
@ AJ
If I'm not mistaken, I read somewhere in engadget's comments that there indeed are two nand chips. So ... yes, if that information is accurate.
.
@AJ
the iPod Touch does indeed have 2x 16GB chips in it - the iPhone has the same 16GB chip but only has room for 1, which is why it's half the capacity.
it'd be REAL nice to see a 32GB iPhone... but hopefully it'll be a little while, so i can still enjoy my 16GB for more than a few months. :)
Woohoo no more swapping around and subsequently lost 2 to 4G SD cards
flashbang, strife!
Fuck the fucking iPods, I want this in the New PSP 3000. Imagine the firmware hacks that could be had with that amount of storage. Holy sweet fuck.
Can you get more fucks in a comment?
hey hey hey, don't get greedy now. Aw hell, what am I talking about, I want a 128gb nand chip in my ipod touch, darn it!
Get on it, Toshiba!
@JohnnyRico
The Touch has two slots for memory so two 128GB would be even cooler, but very greedy
256gbs of nand flash? Why, Greedy yes.. but I dunno, pretty awesome.
let me know when they have them for PIMPs too
ye-yeah playas
Now we just need to see HTC slip some of these into their phones.
Too bad these weren't around for the Touch Pro (even if it would raise the cost).
32GB is enough for most PMPs unless you want to store all of your videos/movies and music on one device... provided that it's cheap and has really low power consumption.
I probably should, but have no idea of the size of these things.
c'mon you can easily work out the size! 43-nano meter * 32 GB = 1376 Gignobeters^2
flash devices are measured in bits, not bytes.
Maybe you should click the fucking read link:
"The new 32GB embedded devices combine eight 32Gbit (= 4GB) NAND chips"
@Jeremy
GB = Gigabyte
Gbit = Gigabit
so this is a 256 gigaBIT chip, also called 32GB.
16GB iPhone is too much for me, I don't even store movies in it cause the battery life sucks.
I only store a thousand tracks, 2 hundred phots and the rest are software from installer.app.
I can only get it to 6GB!
I still have 8GB of free space which I don't know what to do with it.
And I think iPod Classic should be in NAND chips, instead of those little hard disc that spins. :D
