Seven semiconductor manufacturers have announced their commitment to the introduction of Universal Flash Storage (UFS) -- a new industry specification for removable memory cards and embedded memory chip products for use in next-generation mobile devices, personal media players, and digital cameras.  The standard is being developed by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, which creates open standards for the semiconductor industry.

UFS promises to offer high-speed access to large multimedia files, while consuming less power in consumer electronic devices. UFS's performance is expected to be much higher than is offered today by flash cards. The next-generation flash memory specification is expected to be completed in the first half of 2009, with a draft specification available in the first half of 2008.
