Apple bought 100 million 8Gb NAND flash chips from Samsung!

100 million 8Gb NAND flash chips?Yes, that's true.This news was reported by the DigiTimes just few days ago.According to DigiTimes, this order will effect a lot to the NAND flash chips market and soar up the NAND flash chips price all of a sudden.

"Apple has reportedly placed orders for 100 million 8Gb NAND flash chips mostly with Samsung Electronics, which is likely to cause a supply shortage, according to sources at downstream suppliers. Nokia and Sony recently also began building their NAND flash inventories, further tightening supply, the sources added."

Whatever, back to the topic, why Apple would do a big deal such like this?Seem like a next generation large storage iPhone or iPod can be expected to reveal soon at the upcoming WWDC 2009.
