DigiTimes reports Apple has sourced sufficient NAND flash chips to avoid interrupting shipments of its new iPhone 3G S, according to industry sources.

The just-announced iPhone is expected to positively affect the NAND flash market, which has undergone slow demand.

Apple has secured NAND flash supply from an unspecified US vendor as well as Samsung Electronics and Toshiba for the third quarter, indicated the sources.

The US chip supplier may see 50-70% of its total NAND chip capacity during the upcoming quarter occupied by orders placed by Apple, the sources estimated.

Apple's new iPhone will hit shelves in the coming weeks with a suggested US$199 price tag for the 16GB version and US$299 for the 32GB one.

Barclays says their new base case is for the S&P 500 to fall to their original stress case scenario of 640. Firm say their new best case scenario is that it holds near current levels, and new worst case is that it falls to 585, an outcome consistent with -1 standard deviations below valuation norms.

The firm says they assigned equal weightings to the various outcomes, given their lack of conviction that the conditions are in place for the bear market to end in the near term, while acknowledging that the market has overshot their base case.

The probability weighted average of these three scenarios gives a new year-end price target of 760. Firm says their initial price target of 875 was probably too high.
