I swear if any of you say iPod im gonna....

"has 10x the lifespan of traditional flash memory"

Kinda pointless as I have never seen memory gone bad.. and I have a 32MB yes all glorious 30 mins MP3player that still runs...
So if thing hing is that old it pretty much outlived its usefulness why do I need 10X lifespan?

AHAHA!!!]]>May 6th 2009 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/
By the way, this article misreported that the chips will be 512MB. In 2005 Samsung fabricated 256Mbit chips, and it's looking like this is going to be a 512Mbit chip.

Sounds like it'll be in the 3rd-Gen iPhone!

I remember hearing that the current iPhones can't do video because the constant reading and writing to the NAND flash memory wears it out prematurely. This flash memory solves that problem!]]>May 5th 2009 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/May 5th 2009 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/

It wont be in your iPhone (or anything you own) for a long, long time. ]]>May 5th 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/May 5th 2009 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/May 6th 2009 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/
Somehow you imagine that Mass Production in June = Consumer products in 3-years?

What era are you living in when you think that it takes 3-years for memory technology to make it to a consumer level. This technology probably won't be in the next iPhone, I can admit that, but you'll be the one with your foot in your mouth when consumer products have this technology next summer.

And to reply to Zydeco, when I said "do video", I meant "TAKE video". I figured you would've understood what I meant. ]]>May 6th 2009 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/samsungs-pram-chips-go-into-mass-production-in-june/
Hell, NAND entered mass production somewhere around 1989. See how long it took for it to mature and start reaching potential?
