Samsung is alerting customers that NAND flash memory may be hard to come by for a period of time, due to an order placed by Apple.
On Wednesday, Apple placed an order of 50 million 8GB NAND chips for the iPhone. With such a large order, this caused a delay for Samsung customers wanting similar chips.
Apple ordered 25 million 8Gb chips in June to get the ball rolling, and is now planning for the ramp of the iPhone 3G. Apple has steadfastly maintained that it expects to sell 10 million iPhones this year, and it needs to sell about 7.7 million units in the second half of the year to make that goal.
