This is fantastic news. I've always been curious why the memory inside smart phones is so behind the times, and it looks like Samsung is finally looking to remedy that.

Yet Apple will no longer be buying their flash memory from Samsung.

What does "Can it play Crysis?" have to do with flash memory? I don't get it. We're talking about a flash memory, not a computer of its own. I wonder if the DROID 4 will be able to...though.

We already face an oversaturated market of IC chips (as reported by Tom's a few days/weeks ago) so these come during rough times for the IC market.

Sorry Apple, no fast DDR2 memory for you!

How you like them Apples? lol

so now phone flash is equivalent to PC HDDs of the late '90s. Except at a fraction of the power/cost. It really is amazing how smart phones have progressed in the last few years. They are so close to being useful that it is very tempting.

Just one more year and I think they will be able to do what I want them to do (replace my netbook).

Hope Samsung will support USB 3.0 on their phones and other devices!

Are you talking about 64GB or 64Gb here? Make up your mind.

The embedded multimedia card (e-MMC) uses a stack of eight 64 Gb, 20 nm NAND flash memory chips with a toggle DDR 2 interface. It is about 1.4 mm thick and weighs 0.6 grams.

Spend a little more time reading and you might understand something. 8 stacks of 64Gb NAND = 64GBs of NAND
