Comments on: Spansion samples new memory chip

Memory manufacturer develops single-chip 1-gigabit NOR flash memory device for embedded markets.

1 gigabit or 1 gigabyte?

I see this confused so often it gets frustrating. A one gigabit flash chip is not such a great deal because that translates to 125 megabytes. So what? If 512 megabyte flash chips are already available then this step backwards, so why is it newsworthy?
