Yes, you read that right. Half a million. A friggin’ 500,000 songs on your iPod or 3,500 movies. Add to that a battery which can support continuous charge for a week at a single go, and have we just discovered Kryptonite? Not we, guys at IBM did. Sources from Fox News say:-
So-called “racetrack” memory uses the “spin” of an electron to store data and can operate far more quickly than regular hard drives.
Like flash memory — the most advanced type of memory for small devices such as mobile phones — it has no moving parts, meaning that the problems associated with mechanical reliability are dramatically reduced.
But unlike flash, these memories can write data with almost no “wear-out” mechanism, which means a longer life of the data as well as the medium. For the complete story read the report here. [Continue Reading]

The online world has completely gone frenzy with rumors, speculations and the like about the Macworld and the “Air” campaign.

Wish me luck!!!!

Not only has it given immense competition to market leaders Nokia and Motorola, but it has also spawned a huge list of iPhone wannabes, predictably from the Chinese manufacturers, even before it was officially released. The latest addition to the list is a DAP from Taiwanese company Digisino which sports a touchscreen interface, has a voice recorder and FM Radio as well. More surprisingly, it is being displayed at CES 2008. Wonder how Steve would react to this?
Check out the specifications( after the jump):- [Continue Reading]
