NAND Flash-Based Solid State Disk for Mobile PCs " Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is now offering a 32GB (gigabyte) NAND flash-based solid state disk (SSD), marking the first time that NAND flash has moved into mobile computing applications. The 32GB Flash-SSD, which serves the same purpose as a hard disk drive, is a data storage medium for notebooks and other mobile computers. It uses instantly-accessible, non-moving NAND flash memory instead of the rotating discs found in hard drives; therefore can upload and download data quickly and quietly with minimal power consumption. The Flash-SSD weighs only half as much as a comparably-sized hard drive, but reads data three times faster and writes data 1.5 times faster. The SSD uses just five percent of the electricity needed to power a hard disc drive and is noiseless. Its design is free of any motor or other mechanical parts. Samsung says a 1.8" Flash-SSD can read at speeds of up to 57Mbps and write 32Mbps, while a similar sized 1.8" HDD will perform these operations with a maximum speed of 15Mbps. Power consumptions is 0.1W (off) and 0.5W (on) compared to 1.5W on a HDD unit." http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=6059
Polymer Vision Screen Thin as Paper, in Cellphones Someday "If you’re tired of squinting at that postage-stamp-sized screen on your cellphone, Polymer Vision is pimping a 4.8-inch roll-up screen for cellphones, GPS, and mobile entertainment devices, and maybe someday it will make its way to the real world. This fanciful mockup is said to have a 240x320 color screen with a refresh rate of 50Hz. One look at that picture above, and you can see the potential of something like this. Wow. poly_vision.jpgMeanwhile, back in the real world, we first saw one of Polymer Vision’s devices at CES (pictured here) this January, where the company was demonstrating a prototype in the Philips booth. Called READIUS, it’s a 5-inch black-and-white rollup display that Polymer Vision said was not intended to be a product but just a demonstration. While it was thin and did actually roll up, its contrast was low and it was a pretty rough first outing. From what we saw with our own eyes, looks like the company has quiet a long way to go before we see these bright color screens on cellphones and GPS devices." http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/...hin-as-paper-in-cellphones-someday-161890.php
Just cause its cool: Two different ways to slide, why the hell not? It kind of reminds us of the latest shaving razor shenanigans. In a couple of years we will see the SK Telecom Ultra Slider Deluxe Fusion featuring five different sliding mechanisms. The screen slides out horizontally to unveil multimedia function keys and the entire face unit will slide vertically in the traditional manner to unveil the number pad. This phone also includes a 1.3-megapixel camera and an MP3 player. This is an exclusive phone through SK Telecom Korea, so no ultra-sliding for the U.S.
