Industry's smallest "flash" disk - aimed at wireless, mobile

"Half the size of competing technologies" says M-Systems as it launches a new range of flash memory storage chips with capacities up to 64 megabytes, and targets the mobile/wireless product builder.

The Mobile DiskOnChip family is available today in 16MB, with a 32MB version coming onto the market next month in mass production quantities. A 64MB "disk" capacity version will ship in October, says M-Systems.

"It is the smallest flash disk family available today with each product's footprint measuring 9x12mm, allowing each product to be interchangeable," says the company.

"Wireless handset and PDA manufacturers have greater flexibility to choose from a whole family of flash disk products with varying capacity to cater to their application needs," said Efrat Ramati, M-Systems' Director of Mobile DiskOnChip. "Mobile DiskOnChip easily integrates into any chipset and platform, offers an easy upgrade path and fast time to market."
