World’s first 128Gb 20nm NAND flash could pack 2TB into a 2.5″ SSD

Posted on December 6th, 2011 • Filed under Learn • No Comments

Intel and Micron’s joint venture IMFT has announced that it has produced a 128Gb die. A package combining eight such dies together would be small enough to fit on a fingertip and boast an unprecedented 128GB capacity. Mass production will start in the first half of next year, and devices using the new dies are likely to start shipping in 2013.

IMFT also announced that it had started mass production of a 64Gb 20nm die. This part was first announced in April of this year. Consumer delivery should start in the middle of next year.

Each time you walk into a pizzeria for the first time you are faced with the all important question of what to order. There are many strategies to managing the big decision of which pie will serve to form the basis of your opinion about a place. Some have their go-to favorite topping combo (I think sausage and onions can tell you a lot about a place), others look to the “specials” portion of the menu. For many, a plain cheese or Margherita is the only way to measure the merits of a pizzeria.

Hyped-up places are an exception; they can totally throw you off your game. It’s hard to stick to your guns of just getting the Margherita when the brussels sprouts and slab bacon is all anyone is talking about. Those special cases aside, what is your default mode for a first taste of a new pizza place?

First 7-inch Android Honeycomb tablet hits stores this weekend

Posted on August 12th, 2011 • Filed under Learn • No Comments

The first 7-inch Honeycomb tablet, Acer’s Iconia Tab A100, is finally landing in stores this weekend. Running Android “Honeycomb” 3.2, the tablet was announced all the way back in January and due out in the first half of the year, but its release was delayed several times.

The A100 is powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. The 7-inch screen has a resolution of 1024×600 at a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the tablet is Flash-equipped and can play 1080p video via an external monitor.

Physically, the tablet weighs 0.92 pounds and is just under half an inch thick, and its shape makes it “comfortable to grasp and thumb type,” according to This is my next. The A100 has a 1530 mAh battery that gets a meager 4.5 hours of 720p video playback, a 5-megapixel camera on the back, and a 2-megapixel one on the front.

In the press release, Acer targets moms and families specifically, promoting the A100′s facility with tasks like calendaring and e-mail. But the appealing price of the A100 suits its modest bracket: the 8GB WiFi model will be priced at $329.99 and the 16GB model at $349.99.
