According to a DigiTimes report, Apple has ordered 100 million 1 gigabit NAND flash chips, sparking rumors that the upcoming iPhone 3G model will have storage capacity of 32 GB. The amount of chips purchased would be enough for 6 million 16GB iPhones or 3 million 32GB models.
There is also the possibility that a larger capacity 64GB iPod Touch is on the way, however the iPhone seems more possible considering the upcoming iPhone 3.0 firmware will add video-recording functionality.
The NAND Flash chips are also used in a lot of Apple products, such as the Nano and Shuffle, but the huge order has the rumor mill working overtime.
