Looks like Samsung might end up taking a bath over the NAND flash that it allocated for iPod shuffle sales. Stupid iPods. Yeah, I said it. However, it could lead to cheaper flash for us in the near future. If you're planning on buying that 1GB flash card sometime soon, hold off a couple more weeks...

"Weaker than expected sales of Apple’s iPod Shuffle has market sources wondering what Samsung Electronics will do with the large proportion of NAND flash capacity it has allotted for Apple, while Peter Shu, chairman of Transcend Information, has stated that NAND flash prices may drop up to 40% in the future."
