Samsung packs an astounding 8GB embedded memory card for Mobile phones

How about saving a whopping 2,000 songs, chunks of map data capable of running GPS or full-length media content on your mobile phone? All this without using an external memory card is a godsend. That is what Samsung electronics, the global leader in chip memory designer has been up to lately.
This remarkable feat will be achieved through Samsung’s latest high-density moviNAND memory card, which consists of four 50-nanometer, 16 Gigabit NAND flash memory chips, high-speed Multimedia Card (MMC) controller and onboard firmware. What’s even cooler is the fact that the new card delivers twice the performance of a 4GB card, is relatively smaller and processes data at 52 Mbps. The project is a continuation of Samsung’s earlier releases of 1GB, 2GB and 4 GB samples of moviNAND designed for mobile devices. The moviNAND technology makes use of NAND flash memory which is easily accessible via a standard MMC controller. This effectively illustrates the ease of embedding moviNAND technology in mobile phones. Additionally, moviNAND offers increased security, making it a suitable option for storing private information.
Plans are underway to kick off mass production of mobile phones using this technology which promises high-density, high-speed, low noise-interference and enhanced security capabilities.
