Flash memory maker Samsung is trying to drive a new kind of disk for PCs.
Samsung is warning its customers that NAND flash memory might be hard to come by for some time after Apple placed a large order, according to a report out of Taiwan.
Flash drives, which unlike traditional hard drives do not have any moving parts, will be common in notebooks bought during 2009 and account for 15 percent of that market by 2011.
Intel, STMicroelectronics and private equity firm Francisco Partners plan to form an independent flash memory company in Switzerland, the companies said on Tuesday.
Japanese memory chip manufacturer Toshiba announced yesterday that it will be showcasing a 128 GB NAND-flash-based solid-state drive (SSD) at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January.
Keen news readers would have heard about the strong earthquake that rocked south-western Greece on Sunday. Fewer may have realised that the quake was not so much an act of God, as an act of Jobs.
Microsoft and Samsung showed off a prototype hard drive on Monday that can record data while idling, a twist that has the potential to significantly cut power consumption in notebooks.
Is it out with the old and in with the new, or do you stick with the Devil you know? Only a tech death match can decide! iPhone versus Palm Pre, fight!
SanDisk co-founder and CEO Eli Harari continues to fight the good fight against Apple's iPod juggernaut, but even he's starting to look toward the future.
Not convinced Apple's iPhone is the 'must have' device it's been heralded as? We take a look at a few alternatives that provide some advantages over the iPhone in its current incarnation.
Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it. But like most decisions based on emotion, buying one may not be the smartest thing to do at least, not yet.
The Preston has the look of a better handset, but poor call quality spoils an otherwise well-performing budget-priced touchscreen phone.
While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.
Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. It's a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just can't tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.
