Fusion-io, a new player in storage solution provider from Utah, has introduced a better alternative storage, the Fusion-io ioDrive. The ioDrive is based on a revolutionary silicon-based storage architecture known as ioMemory, improves storage performance by a “thousand fold” while simultaneously providing sustained, random access rates “hundreds of times faster” than the industry?s fastest storage devices. The card is a PCIe storage card which can be slotted into motherboards with a free PCIe slot. The memory card’s specifications are very impressive: 800MB/sec read speed, 600MB/sec write speed, and 100,000 IOPS (input/output per second) per PCIe x4 card. The card also provides high service life of eight years compared to the five year service life of mechanical hard drives. And finally when ioDrive’s ioMemory start to fatigue, the result is a reduction in available free space rather than data loss or sudden failure.

Nokia has unveiled its latest N-series phone, Nokia N82, a multimedia computer optimized for photography, navigation and internet connectivity. Beside communication and multimedia functions, things worth mentions here on Nokia N82 are the GPS, a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, and of course WiFi connection.

The camera delivers remarkably vivid photographs, even in low-light conditions. Fast camera activation, autofocus with a dedicated autofocus assist lamp, fast reloading between shots and DVD-like quality video capture make it a truly convenient and credible tool for capturing and telling your life stories. It also comes with the new content driven 3D multimedia menu and includes a convenient orientation sensor that rotates the user interface automatically between horizontal and portrait mode. It also supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including Nokia Music Store, N-Gage games and Nokia Maps.

Epson has developed a new 16-bit RISC MCU which contains 16 MB of memory space and features low power consumption and circuit size equivalent to an 8-bit microcontroller, the Epson S1C17701. The S1C17701 is a single-chip microcontroller featuring on-chip Flash ROM and a high-resolution dot matrix LCD driver. With 64 KB of Flash ROM, the product is ideal for software development and evaluation activities. Epson has utilized the low power consumption technology developed for its watch applications to achieve low current consumption (typically 2.5 µA during standby mode) and enable high-speed operation (8.2 MHz) with low operation voltage (1.8 V). In most cases, this product will allow customers currently using 8-bit microcontrollers to enjoy higher performance with the same power consumption. In addition, it will enable customers already using 16-bit microcontrollers to benefit from longer battery life as a result of low operating voltage.

Fujitsu has released another mini-notebook, it’s a Tablet PC, or you can say it’s a notebook as well, Fujitsu U810. It’s very portable, weighs 1.5 pound only. It’s powered by an Intel A110 processor that used in Samsung’s UltraMobile PC, and allows for fairly easy and accurate thumb typing. Fujitsu prefers to call it a mini-notebook, mostly because it’s essentially a scaled-down version of its other convertible notebooks. It has a rotating screen, which can be swiveled and locked down like Fujitsu’s other Lifebook products. The U810 comes with alot of features such as biometric security, Webcam, keyboard light, stylus and a touch-screen interface, and some decently sized keys for such a small keyboard. It’s equipped with slots for SD cards, compact flash, USB, and has a port for an included Ethernet dongle and can connect to a docking station. Connectivity is also good with WiFi 802.11 a/b/g and Bluetooth capable.
