Manufacturers of SSDs are made anxious by a possible success of the iPad

If though the iPad seems to have production problems at the moment, it would be expected that 600.000 to 1 million units will be produced monthly. This represents enormous quantities of flash memory chip for the models: 16,32 or 64 GB.
However this market already is very constrained because of the iPhone and others iPod which absorbs a good part of the world's production of these chips.
According to Digitimes that quotes manufacturers of SSD, a success of the iPad will take a significant chunk of the Flash market and could delay the penetration of these SSD discs in the storage market, with the prices likely to remain high and the capacities likely to be stagnate.
Fortunately, more and more of production lines are allotted to the Flash memory chips and the engraving size decreases that increases the capacities of the chips. Under these conditions, the delay taken by the SSD should not exceed in the worst case a few months; and this should be compared to a world without an iPad as a conqueror.
