Subject: [Balloon] Why NAND and not NOR Flashes
Lately there was an announcement of the new Toshiba E830 with 64MB NOR-Flash.
The old version had 32MB NAND and 32MB NOR FLASH.
In the article it says that now the programms can run directly from FLASH.

- Is that corret? Is it only possible to run programms from NOR Flashes?
- If yes, why dosen't we use NOR Flash instead of NAND?
- Because of the price?

Are the Intel STRATA Flash a special kind of FLASH Types?

Cheers
