Samsung says it is now delivering 1 and 2 gigabyte samples of Samsung's moviNAND - an embedded combination of NAND flash memory, a multimedia card controller and onboard firmware - to the number manufacturers of mobile products. Samsung's moviNAND features high-speed, high capacity and extremely small form factor. Samsung's moviNAND is smaller than competing devices being marketed and takes advantage of its high-performance MMC interface to provide the fastest mobile data processing possible at 52 megabytes per second.

Samsung's moviNAND makes it unnecessary to have an external memory card slot in mobile devices. Another option is to use the embedded flash with a removable MMC card to enable a virtually unlimited amount of higher storage capacity. Samsung plans to start mass production of Samsung's moviNAND in 1 and 2 GB densities starts this month. The company will further add 512MB and 4GB densities by the end of this year. Samsung's moviNAND was devised through cooperative work of Samsung's memory division and its System LSI division.
