Rumor says Intel is ready
to launch new 34nm NAND chips SSDs in two weeks or less. The drives are
expected to ship in 80, 160 and 320GB. There are other rumors sayng
there will be even biggest SSDs soon, big enough to replace the HDDs in
allmost every laptop. Besides higher capacities, new SSDs will
have faster performance, reduced power consumption, and maybe even
lower prices. That was one of the biggest problems of this technology
since PCs with SSD are much more expensive than same models with HDD. The
current X18-M and X25-M solid state drives use a 50nm process, and have
80GB and 160GB capacities. Price range is from $350 to $800.

One of the cool features that Palm Pre owners could smugly hold over the heads of iPhone owners was its wireless charging system, called the Touchstone, which charged the Pre through a magnetic connection. Not anymore. Today iPhone owners get their own get wireless charging system.The WildCharge Skin for iPhone is compatible with the new iPhone 3GS, as well as the iPhone 3G and original iPhone. When an iPhone is in a WildCharge case, you can place the phone on an electrical mat and the phone will charge. The phone case has four little conductive contact points that automatically sort out positive and negative charges no matter the orientation of the phone on the mat. You can charge more than one device on the pad at a time, so it can be used to replace a mass of black, boxy wall warts. The mats are UL-listed and have built-in protection against short circuits and shock.
