Digitimes reports that the market of NAND flash memory is dry. The cause is mainly due to Apple. In order to reduce risk, all the large manufacturers of memory preferred to sign contracts for a defined production rather than to take the risk of letting the market decide the fate of their products.If one adds that Samsung has launched its own lines of products containing flash and thus want to supply its own needs first, one finds oneself in a situation where many potential users have difficulty finding a supply to manufacture their products.The situation should improve in 2010, since the production will have ramped up and with new products such as memory storing 3 bits per cell.
