According to a new article on AppleInsider:
"Although the Cupertino-based company recently introduced a solid-state disk (SSD) version of its MacBook Air, suppliers believe the steep retail price of that model will do little to encourage widespread consumption amongst consumers, "which can hardly spur meaningful SSD penetration and NAND flash procurement."
Instead, the memory makers are reportedly anticipating the launch of the company's first ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) as a possible catalyst to improve demand and boost NAND pricing later in the year."
Er, have they heard of this little thing called the iPhone SDK? Just because it doesn't operate exactly like a traditional desktop PC doesn't mean the device isn't a personal computer.
Honestly, I think there's going to be very few tasks that could technically be accomplished on a device the size of the iPhone, but which the SDK limits. There are plenty of commentaries around the web complaining about the lack of multitasking, but just step back a moment. How many apps really require it? The whole point of the iPhone is to turn things slightly on their head and say that you don't need to multitask the software processes if they save their data properly and launch & quit quick enough.
