Flash price plunge heralds cheaper MP3 players? | Channel Register

Flash price plunge heralds cheaper MP3 players? Channel Register: "iPods and other MP3 players look set to become much cheaper thanks to a dramatic decline in the price of NAND Flash chips. According to memory industry watcher DRAMeXchange, NAND Flash prices on the spot market have fallen by more than 50 per cent since the start of 2006. It said 2GBb and 4Gb NAND Flash chip prices fell by 63 per cent on average. Other parts saw their prices drop by at least 43 per cent."

I'm starting to suspect my next mobile PC won't have a hard disk...
