Pravin, Re: "Samsung starts ramping 1-Gbit flash memory"

This will be nothing more than a niche technology for the next year, at least. By then, most of the other flash manufacturers will have their 1-Gbit products, including INTC, I'm sure.

It's always nice to be first, though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think NOR flash has lower power consumption for writes and is faster, but NAND is cheaper. I am really, really disappointed in the battery life on my digital camera and wonder whether NOR could replace NAND in some applications.

Why is NAND used in cameras?
