Is Flash Memory Being Produced Too Fast?

With Flash memory prices recently getting cut could this be the end of the Flash Memory bubble? Hynix, the No. 2 player in flash, is expected to transition part of their DRAM fab to flash production this year. Not to mention that IM Flash (jointly owned by Intel and Micron) is going to ramp up later this year also. Looks like a "Flash Flood" of excess flash memory is about to happen.

Consumers can't seem to get enough, as they increasingly turn to digital gadgets such as MP3 players, cameras and cell phones. But as strong as this demand is, it may not be enough to soak up all the flash memory chips coming to market. After the recent announcement by a few companies that they would aggressively cut prices, some investors are wondering whether the flash market's stellar growth is set to slow down.
