iPhone 3G Hits Retail Stores on July 11th 8am!

As an early-adopter of gadgets and other technologies, I will not be waiting for an iPhone 3G hopelessly like some folks who are even standing in line right now.

But for those of you who really feel the need to get the iPhone 3G, you need to be at your local retail store around 7am on July 11th and get in line if it’s not long.

- Valid ID required. Social Security Number for those who are new to AT&T.
- It remains unclear how existing non-iPhone AT&T will be processed.
- Business customers must go to an AT&T store.
- FamilyTalk plan buyers must purchase at least 2 iPhones, or have an existing iPhone to be used in the plan.
- More details expected throughout the week.

Remember the post on Japanese researchers working on a 42GB DVD?

Well, that’s already old news.  Check out these 16 layer optical drives from pioneer at 400GB.

It’s not really called DVDs but pretty much they are 400GB DVDs.

Pioneer announced they succeeded to develop the World’s First 16-Layer Optical Disc. This new audio-visual aid offers a storage capacity of 400 gigabytes: it correspond to 25GB per layer. The manufacturer should introduce it at the International Symposium on Optical Memory and Optical Data Storage 2008 in Hawaii.

Sharp working on Solar LCD TVs!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, Earth, Educational, Gadgets, Household, News, Solar, TV by max on the July 6th, 2008 at 5:25 am

Sharp working on Solar LCD TVs!

Sharp is working on solar LCD TVs for houses without electricity.

The only question I have is, if they don’t get electricity, will they get any TV reception at all?  (Maybe air reception is good… real good…)

LCD prototype which uses just a quarter of the power (or a third measured annually) of a conventional CRT with the same screen size. That’s low enough to be suitably powered by a Sharp, triple-junction thin-film solar cell module whose surface area is roughly equivalent to that of the LCD screen.

5TeraByte 3.5-inch Hard Drive coming within the Next 2 years!

5 TB 3.5 inch hard drives maybe coming soon…in the next 2 years or so.

Hitachi has pledged to release a 5TB 3.5in hard drive within two years, and it claims two of the drives will boast enough capacity to store everything in your brain.

According to a report by Nikkei Net, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies will use Current-Perpendicular-to-Plane Giant Magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) magnetc read heads to achieve the aim. This, the firm claims, will allow its drives to store 1TB of data in every square inch of the recording surface.
