Samsung announced beginning of the mass production of the 16 gigabit (Gb) NAND flash memory chip. The Korean company will use the finest 51 nanometers (nm) technology to make these memories.
The new 16Gb chip has a multi-level cell (MLC) structure and can facilitate capacity expansion by offering 16 gigabytes of memory in a single memory card. Furthermore, by applying the new process technology, Samsung has accelerated the chip’s read and write speeds by approximately 80% over current MLC data processing speeds.
Technology migration to 16Gb is expected to boost the demand for high-density data storage in high-end music phones and portable media players.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
