Samsung Announces 4GB Flash Memory

Samsung Electronics announced the world first 4Gb NAND flash memory, following a growth curve that doubles its density every twelve months: 256Mb in 1999, 512Mb in 2000, 1Gb in 2001, 2Gb in 2002, and 4Gb in 2003. The company said that with the new higher density level, nonvolatile memory is now a viable choice for solid-state data storage, potentially replacing magnetic tapes and low-density hard disk drives. NAND flash will also target mobile applications, such as notebook PCs, tablet PCs, mobile handsets, MP3 players and PDAs.
