There are a four capacitors around the flash chip (think 100n), one between pin 6 (Vcc) and the ground plane (very close to the connector) and one between GND1 and Vcc1 in order to perform an automatic reset function.
Inside the iQue is a big NEC custom chip, with the cpu and the other glue logic inside. The SRAM chip K4D263238E-GC33 is also from SAMSUNG .
