Re: Intel announced 65nm, not released.

Intel Announces Industry’s First Volume Shipments of 65nm NOR Flash Multi-Level Cell Products
Intel Ships First 1Gb, Single-Chip 65nm MLC NOR Flash For Cell Phones

I don't know how one could construe this to mean they have not released the parts. So they've at least been shipping in high volume since November. More info here: http://www.intel.com/design/flcomp/prodbref/M18.htm?iid=ipp_embed+flash_M18

Re: Spansion has made pretty hard switch to 90nm last Q and will be at 65nm in 2007

Sounds like wishful thinking of the same variety as AMD 45nm products in mid-2008. If they just now switched to 90nm, I wouldn't expect 65nm this year.

Re: What Apple product is Intel NAND going into? I thought Samsung was (nearly) exclusive vendor for iPods.

Intel and Micron Technology are launching a joint venture to produce NAND flash memory, with Apple Computer prepaying $500 million to secure its place in line for the popular technology, the companies said Monday... Under the long-term agreements with the five chip makers, Apple is banking on the continued popularity of its iPod and NAND flash memory.

Again, this is pretty unambiguous.
