Samsung's 30nm NAND chips give birth to 32GB memory cards
Remember the halcyon days of 2007, when Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" rocked the charts and Samsung revealed its 30-nm manufacturing process, promising a 128GB memory card in every digicam? We're still not quite there yet, but the company is finally releasing the first cards to utilize that manufacturing process, the biggest offering 32GB of storage goodness. That's twice the capacity of its 40nm cards, which never made it past the 16GB mark. 30nm moviNAND chips are in production now in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB sizes, and hopefully will hit retail before that 33 megapixel Mamiya we've had on order finally ships.

The more chips you have the more the ladies will like you.

The inverse it true for potato chips.

Whores running around, doing their little behind-shake for the men folk... Men laying their trick-money down. Twenty dollars to pay the rent? Maybe not. Maybe instead I'll spend it on the whore.

If I was a small, round, magical make-up mirror like the guy in the photo, I would be happy too.
jdang @ May 12th 2009 3:29PM
Certainly he's more happy because their other hand is free.
ghex88 @ May 14th 2009 10:28AM
The dude likes it holding big and round, the gals like it rectangular and hard. Yes, no wonder the other hands are free.
Nublar @ May 12th 2009 8:35AM
Those girls won't be giving birth if they continue using their hands
LonnieDvD @ May 12th 2009 8:40AM
Wow, I would love to go on a date with those women.
weems @ May 12th 2009 8:52AM

bdav @ May 12th 2009 9:08AM

Rekon these trollops would be interested in my hard disk?
Wwhat @ May 12th 2009 5:49PM
As long as you don't have any SSD's
Cameron @ May 12th 2009 8:54AM
These babies in the iphone? that would make the rumored 32gb version possible. It also makes way for a 64gb ipod touch. iphone has room for one flash chip and the touch has room for two, hence why it was 32gb and the iphone was only 16gb.
Luxu @ May 12th 2009 9:23AM
i tought apple uses 4gb Nand chips and assembles them together to make several quantities, i had read that apple bought huge quantities of 4gb chips not so long ago.
Cameron @ May 12th 2009 8:56AM
just ignore this post, im changing email addresses and need to post to do that (i think)

That guy is a total pimp. He's Samsung's answer to Intel's rock star guy.

the size looks like mspd, but isnt there 32G mspd already?
JT @ May 12th 2009 9:26AM
the girl on the right looks like she has go-go gadget arms.
Alundre @ May 12th 2009 9:34AM
I am curious how the 32gb cards will be priced when they are finally released?
darkmax @ May 12th 2009 9:56AM
I guess it was inevitable everyone would comment about the girls.
Duke @ May 12th 2009 10:26AM
Sad isn't it.
NickNick @ May 12th 2009 11:37AM
people comment on just about anything in any pictures posted in articles here on engadget, I don't see anything wrong or sad here...? just be happy no trolls commented (for once)
Carl @ May 12th 2009 10:10AM
why can't my company hire hot chicks to show off the warez.
Mr Epic Hero @ May 12th 2009 11:59AM
The one on the left, please.
nxp3 @ May 12th 2009 10:25AM
I think Yao Ming needs to call these girls up and start producing the next Houston Rockets team.
Peter R. @ May 12th 2009 10:43AM
I hope Apple takes the hint and doubles up on these in the ipod touch refresh coming later this year. Cause with a portable video device like the ipod touch, and the possibilities of the App store, I can't begin to understand why someone would think 32GB is enough.
r19578 @ May 12th 2009 11:37AM
These girls like the tiny little thing.
FCat @ May 12th 2009 12:01PM
Chicks dig the GBs.
Its not the size, it's the capacity that matters.
NickNick @ May 12th 2009 12:12PM
I should introduce them to my TBs
Kevin @ May 12th 2009 12:19PM
You have TB??!!?
Quick! Call the CDC!!!
man... I need to stop pulling all nighters.
qbelek @ May 12th 2009 12:14PM
Look and my bling and my h...s ;D
Yodaman @ May 12th 2009 12:38PM
How come every Japanese/Chinese executive has a harem - one they regularly bring out in public, no less? I always see multiple women draped over these executives. American executives are expected to have wives and families and be faithful. Why can't we have harems, too?
EB @ May 12th 2009 5:34PM
You do know that Samsung is a Korean company right?
Wwhat @ May 12th 2009 5:57PM
To be honest they don't really look 100% korean, the one on the left looks a bit vietnamese or chinese or something, and of course there's nothing stopping girls from getting jobs in foreign places, and perhaps it's like in the west were mixed-origin genes get good looking results.
LPXXFAINTXX @ May 12th 2009 9:57PM
@Wwhat: They look pretty Korean to me.
Wwhat @ May 13th 2009 7:24AM

So guys get hair on their palms... women's hands just get bigger?
