Samsung unveils 16 GB, 50 nm NAND flash module

If you're waiting in hushed anticipation for solid state storage, bigger flash memory cards or a wireless handset with a large storage capacity (iPhone anyone?) then Samsung has good news for you.

Samsung will start mass producing the chips during the current quarter.
