It’s a foregone conclusion that each new iteration of the iPhone and iPod touch will get bigger, faster and generally better. That first part appears to already be in the cards as Toshiba has now announced the availability of a new high-capacity flash memory module for Q1 2010.

Toshiba is planning to make the whopping 64 GB embedded NAND flash memory available in early 2010, according to AppleInsider. It will mark the highest available capacity in the industry (for now).

When the iPhone 3GS was released back in June, it included Toshiba’s 32 GB NAND flash memory. Apple has generally doubled the storage capacity of its touchscreen devices with each refresh, which means that a 64 GB iPhone for 2010 is likely in the cards.

Toshiba’s new 64 GB chip combines 16 32Gbit (4 GB) NAND chips using 32nm process technology, integrating a dedicated controller. Samples of the new chips are now available, with mass production expected to begin in the first quarter of 2010 and aimed at smartphones, mobile phones, notebooks and digital video cameras.

The current 64 GB iPod touch introduced back in September actually uses a matching pair of 32 GB NAND chips to achieve such a feat, but Toshiba’s new entry could foretell the release of a 128 GB iPod touch next year, if history is any indication.

Toshiba claims the new 64 GB chip can store up to 1,070 hours of music at 128 Kbps, 8.3 hours of full-spec high definition video and 19.2 hours of standard-definition video.
