Beside numerous announcements from different companies regarding SSD, there are not that many manufacturers which already started producing such solid state storage unit.
Samsung, the main worldwide flash memory manufacturer, announced the launch of SSD mass production for a 1.8" 64GB SSD. Such unit will be based on 64 Single Level Flash 1GB chips, allowing high data transfer speeds.
For sure Samsung has already secured some contracts with OEM, even though only couples of computer models are reported to have SSD as an expensive storage option. Prices of such SSD are still too high to be included in a potential iPod 6G despite their perfect 1.8 format. One can always dream of a SSD-based MacBook mini, but it should not arrive before 2008.
