I'm all for it, and it's just the usual "moores law" trend, I just wonder if we won't hit a wall where (most!) users just won't need it?
NAND density is always useful for the ultra portable end, be it used in applications like phones, portable gaming devices, microcontroller boards and such, where space or pci-e lanes is often the limiting factor. when the capacity of nand grows, options become better, as nand usually doubles in capacity per chip.
