Definitions of flash memory:

• Flash memory stores permanent information on some palm-sized computers. Unlike RAM (random-access memory), flash memory can continue to store information in the absence of a power source. Palm devices often make use of flash memory to store the operating system and core applications. Unlike ROM (read-only memory), you can write to flash memory, making it possible to update the operating system and applications via software. Flash memory is more expensive than ROM. ...

• A type of fast memory chip that remembers all its data even when the power is turned off.

• A special form of non-volatile EEPROM that can be erased at signal levels normally found inside the PC, so that you can reprogram the contents with whatever you like without pulling the chips out of your computer. Also, once a flash memory has been programmed, you can remove the expansion board it is mounted on and plug it into another computer if you wish.

• Flash memory is a non-volatile memory device that retains its data after the power is removed.

• A type of memory device that offers non-volatile data storage.

• A RAM-ROM hybrid that can be erased and rewritten under software control. Abbreviated as flash. Flash is an in-circuit programmable nonvolatile memory segmented into blocks called sectors. Each sector can be individually erased, then the data within it rewritten.

• non-volatile storage device similar to EEPROM, but where erasing can only be done in blocks or the entire chip. Not capitalized.

• This is the equivalent to film for digital cameras. It can be re-used over and over and some of the better brands have a lifetime warranty. Types include Compact Flash (CF), Smartmedia, memory stick etc.

• A type of memory that retains data after power is removed. Operates both like memory and like a storage device. Examples include Compact Flash, SmartMedia, and PCMCIA, among others. Used in devices like digital cameras, audio players, handheld computers, cell phones, USB Drives and printers.

• A memory chip that has the ability to retain image data even after the host system has been shut off; this feature insures that, even if the digital camera's batteries die, the image data will remain stored in the camera's memory. Fringing: Fringing occurs when a digital image is sharpened. The term usually refers to a white fringe appearing on the edges of objects in the image. Fringing can also occur as a result of compression.

• A computer chip with a memory that retains its data (digital information like MP3 files, JPEG’s, Word documents etc.) even when the power is turned off. The data can be electronically erased and reprogrammed.

• A special type of RAM memory that stores data without electrical current. This type of memory is currently used in a number of digital cameras and some portable computers through the use of credit-card sized devices.

• A type of memory chip that is portable and retains the data it is storing after the power has been switched off. Often used in digital cameras and music-players and hand-held computers, as a way of storing extra files and swappin them from one device to another.

• A fast, reliable variant of EEPROM or Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, a non-volatile, electrically alterable form of semiconductor storage present in some telecommunications equipment for long-term storage of configuration, dialing and related information.

• Non-volatile memory that can be erased and reprogrammed used to hold the printer's operating program, fonts, images and layouts.

• A type of memory chip that can retain data after the system has been turned off. It's advantage is that digital cameras with flash memory can have batteries go "dead" and yet retain image data.
  www.vcractive.com/glossary/index_f.html
• A solid state, non-volatile, rewritable memory that functions like a combination of RAM and hard disk. Flash memory is durable, operates at low voltages, and retains data when power is off. Flash memory cards are used in digital cameras, cell phones, printers, handheld computers, pagers, and audio recorders.

• A special type of memory that maintains its contents even when the host machine such as a handheld computer is switched off.
  www.eabnet.org.uk/knowitall/finally/glossary/f.htm
• A special version of an EEPROM that can be rewritten while in its functioning environment, instead of having to be removed and reprogrammed in a special device. Example: memory for a digital camera.

• A memory feature or component which allows your cellular phone to save information without power.
  free-cell-phone-shop.com/freecellphonesguy-wireless-glossary.cfm
• A flash memory chip saves data without using energy; it’s erasable and re-programmable.

• Semiconductor memory which can be written once, but can thereafter only be erased as a block. It is increasingly used for program storage, since it allows the program to be updated.

• nonvolatile storage that can be electrically erased and programmed anew
  wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
• Flash memory is a form of EEPROM that allows multiple memory locations to be erased or written in one programming operation. In lay terms, it is a form of rewritable memory chip that, unlike a Random Access Memory chip, holds its content without maintaining a power supply. The memory is commonly used in Memory cards and USB Flash drives.
