Apple buying up so much flash it’s causing a bit of a shortage
Posted on October 9, 2009 | No CommentsIt seems that Apple has such of thirst for flash memory (for use in its iPods, iPhones, maybe tablets, etc.) that it's having a profound effect on the flash suppliers. Tighter supplies, uncertainty about where to go for more flash, etc. Apple gets most of its flash memory from Samsung, but other people get flash from Samsung, too, and now they're all, “Um, hey Samsung, do you have any flash for us?” Then Samsung shrugs its shoulders, “Yeah, man, Apple just paid us $80 zillion for the lot of it. You'll have to go somewhere else. Sorry.”

Video: Some kid makes the PSP that Sony should have made 5 years ago
Posted on October 6, 2009 | No CommentsSony would do well to hire the man who put this PSP mod together. It's basically what the PSP should have been since Day One: a built-in camera, 32GB of flash memory, and a second analog stick. Well, you have to stretch the definition of analog stick here; it's that nub thing.

Posted on June 25, 2009 | No Comments
Now this is a good idea: RAID together four 16GB MicroSDHC cards for a fast, 64GB Compact Flash card. I guess in theory this is an efficient flash memory solution. You get the speed of MicroSDHC spread over four cards that's compatible with high-end, or older, digital cameras. Or it you can finally put all those small MicroSDHC cards to good use.

Flip announces Flip Channels, adds easier video sharing
Posted on June 16, 2009 | No Comments
Not content to let others do the heavy lifting, Pure Digital, now part of Cisco, has added Flip Channels to their popular - and surprisingly useful - FlipShare software. The software is pre-installed on every Flip devices (we have the HD) and the Channels are yet another way to upload and share your videos in the interwebs.
Videos sent to your channel can be viewed at FlipShare.com or using the FlipShare iPhone app, also available today. The software also supports DVD authoring and standard sharing with YouTube and MySpace. I sent a video to myself using the service, a real cinematic magnum opus. You cannot formally embed videos sent to channels - you can embed them on the sly using the actual HTML or grabbing to a site like Posterous - but obviously you can embed videos sent to YouTube.
