Microsoft needs new features on Windows 7 mobile to differentiate it

September 25, 2010

Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Will Not Support Tethering | www.eweek.com

HDD companies opt for more disks rather than higher areal densities

September 25, 2010

Seagate rolls out 1.5 TB external whopper | www.theregister.co.uk

Seagate Technology introduced a 1.5 TB 2.5-inch external disk drive with 4 disks per drive. Earlier in 2010 Seagate and other companies introduced 3 TB 3.5-inch HDDs with 4 disks. These products represent an increase in component count per drive rather than HDD areal density and could accelerate demand for heads and disks. HDD companies appear to be looking at ways to increase product storage capacity --putting off production ramps of higher capacity components until 2011.

Will we see tablet computers with hard disk drives?

September 20, 2010

The current generation of the Apple iPad contains up to 64 GB of flash memory . Other tablet computer (slate) products are in design that also contain flash memory. Is 64 GB enough storage capacity, particularly for high definition movies that can be 3 GB in size or larger? A reasonable price for tablet computers makes it hard to include more than 64 GB of flash memory although 160 GB + of a small form factor HDD would cost much less. Could we see HDDs in new tablet computers?

September 11, 2010

Amazon loses money if there site is down.  So does eBay.  But it is not clear that Microsoft and Google lose significant money if their cloud is down.  How could IT applications running in the cloud be less crucial than the large e-commerce sites?
