Samsung has announced that it's developed the world's first 64
Gigabit (Gb) multi level cell NAND flash memory chip. It's the
eighth consecutive year that the density of flash memory has
doubled, a feat that bodes well for portable devices like
laptops and iPods.  By sandwiching together 16 of the new cells,
Samsung says a 128GB memory card is now possible.  Flash to
replace hard drives?  Currently, the capacity limitations of
flash memory have hampered notebook manufacturers who want to
use the technology instead of traditional hard discs. And one of
the biggest criticisms of the current iPod touch is that 16GB-
worth of storage just isn't enough.  Samsung's new chips could
be the first step towards changing all that. Samsung says a
maximum of sixteen of its 30nm flash devices can be combined.
The result would be a 128GB memory card that could store 80 DVD
resolution movies or 32,000 MP3 music files.  A 128GB card would
also be big enough to replace the HDD in a notebook. Apple was
