NAND suppliers straining to meet Apple demand

Nand-Memory-Flash You always know when Apple’s got something up its sleeve when it’s pushing NAND flash suppliers to the limit.

Now, it seems that in order to cover the demand for all iPods and iPhones to be sold in the second half of 2007, Apple has increased the amount of NAND flash chips they need Samsung to produce by 10 to 15 percent, which totals to be 400 to 500 million 512 MB chips. Now that’s a lot of data.

I’m still a little skeptical about all of the effort Apple’s putting into the iPhone. I mean, will they really sell as many $600 phones as they think they will? Well, with only about six more weeks until the expected launch of the iPhone, we will soon find out.
