Something is wrong here. If these were really 8Gb (giga-bit) chips it would take 8 of them to make an 8GB (giga-byte) iPhone and a whopping 16 to make a 16GB iPhone. The current 8GB iPod Touch uses one 64Gb (giga-bit) Micron 29F64G08TAA Flash chip. These must be at least 64Gb Flash chips. For reference, Samsung and Micron are both currently shipping 128Gb (16GB) Flash chips.
