Posted by thumpad.com in Data, Portable device. on December 7, 2011
Realign the data and the previous 32 and 64 gigabit roadblocks to flash storage disappear. Today, Intel and Micron announced the first 128 gigabit NAND flash chip. The chip, which was created through the companies' joint IM Flash Technologies venture, is smaller than a fingertip, created through a 20 nanometer manufacturing process and is capable of 333 megatransfers per second with the option of stacking as many as eight chips on top of each other. What makes the new NAND unique is its p……

Apple has filed yet another lawsuit against Samsung Electronics – this time with the Tokyo District Court in Japan. The Cupertino-based company wants the suspension of Galaxy S, S II and Galaxy Tab 7.7 sales in Japan as well as 100M Yen – or approximately $1.3M.

we also get some specs, Support page for Samsung I9250 is up
Posted by thumpad.com in Data, Portable device., Services on September 8, 2011
The evidence that the Samsung I9250 is nearing its launch is becoming overwhelming – yesterday it was a leaked user agent profile and today brings us a dummy support page for the I9250.
The page is pretty much empty besides some FAQ and How-to entries that don't belong to the Samsung I9250 (one of them is for the Omnia 7, for example).
Anyway, the I9250 is supposed to be the next Nexus phone – the Nexus Prime. It will be the first device with the next generation Android – Ice Cream Sandwich,……
for people who like to befriend car dealerships Toyota to launch social network
Posted by thumpad.com in Data, Multimedia, Services, Social Networking on August 18, 2011
Man, social networks have taken on a loose definition as of late, haven't they? Toyota just announced plans to launch one for its customers, and while our initial reaction was an eye-roll and sighs of “what the world needs now,” the truth is that it's really just a system that uses Twitter and Facebook to let you know when something's amiss. Dubbed Toyota Friend (and built on Salesforce.com's private Chatter network), the service will dish up battery power warnings to electric……

burns 500GB discs at the speed of a Blu-ray GE's new holographic storage
Posted by thumpad.com in Data, Latest, Portable device. on August 18, 2011
Holographic disc storage may not have worked out so well for InPhase, but the folks at General Electric are still trying to make HVD work. Their latest breakthrough, shown off today at an IEEE symposium in Hawaii, is a new micro-holographic material which is 100x more sensitive than its predecessor and ups recording speed to that of Blu-ray discs. In the two years since we saw it last some of the hyperbole has apparently been lost — no claims of “two to four years left for Blu-ray” this time……

Google acquires Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion
Posted by thumpad.com in Data, Services, Software on August 15, 2011
Google has announced it's going to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion ($40 per share). The Mountain View-based company plans to use Motorola's rich patent portfolio to help its Android platform in the numerous legal battles it's currently fighting, while Motorola itself should continue to function as before.
The first thing that should be noted is Motorola Mobility is not the entire Motorola. You might remember that the company split in two in January 2010 – Motorola Solution (be……

Windows 7 and Symbian Fujitsu LOOX F-07C dual-boots
Posted by thumpad.com in Data, Services on May 17, 2011
No, it's not Windows Phone 7 we meant with that title. Fujitsu’s LOOX F-07C for NTT DoCoMo is indeed capable of dual-booting Windows 7 and Symbian OS thanks to its clever dual hardware design. The Windows 7 side of things is run by an Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM and 32GB SSD. We guess that on the Symbian OS side (unknown version), there's some simpler phone hardware in charge of things. Do you hear that, Nokia?
The two chipsets on the LOOX F-07C share some parts of the hardware – the 4-inch 1024x……
