Apple to snag flash memory from Toshiba

Japan’s second largest chipmaker will begin selling flash memory to Apple early next year. This news comes from the mouth of Yasuo Morimoto, senior executive VP at Toshiba.

Why would Apple want to stock up on flash memory? I just have no idea... ;) Considering that Yasuo Morimoto has a bit more street cred than ‘anonymous tipster’ (much as we love her/him), we can probably safely consider the flash-based iPod a definite reality…

So on to the important questions: what colors will Apple choose for the new device? :)

More important than the colors: which capacity will they be? I wouldn't buy anything smaller than 1G, but would that hit mini sells?

I believe Apple will not release a flash memory based iPod, instead they will go for a so rumoured iPhone. This flash memory will be installed to the iPhones.
