SEOUL (Reuters) – Apple Computer Inc. plans to buy as much as 40 percent of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.’s flash memory output in the second half for its new flash-based iPod Mini MP3 player, iSuppli and Deutsche Bank analysts said on Wednesday.
Apple (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research), known for its wildly popular iPod digital music player, is expected to introduce a 4-gigabyte version of the iPod Mini that uses NAND flash memory instead of a hard disk drive for the Christmas season.
