Thanks for the (Flash) memory

Samsung flashMost Pocket Picks readers will know and love Flash memory - used as it is to store our favourite video, music and image files on our phones. And you’ve probably noticed how the MB per dollar/ pound/ whatever rate just seems to be getting better by the day. Well, Samsung has just confirmed just how popular larger-sized Flash sticks have become: in 2006 it shipped 117 million pieces of its 512MB Flash chips, up 130% over 2005. That’s enough to hold nearly 20 billion 3MB MP3 files; just over two songs for every person on the planet. Which is a lot. Obviously.
