09/09/2004 11:17 AMAP - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has announced the world's first
mobile phone to sport a tiny hard drive. With the built-in 1-inch,
1.5-gigabyte hard disk, the SPH-V5400 could store about 15 times more
data than conventional handsets — everything from digital music
files and photos to video, Samsung said.

selling later this month a cellular telephone that includes a
hard-disk drive. The handset was unveiled as the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecom Asia 2004 event began here on
Monday and is the first cell phone of its kind in the world, according
to the company.

04/09/2004 04:11 PMSo you thought the 4GB IBM/Hitachi micro drives as used in the iPod
mini are small? Toshiba is making a 4GB drive that is only 2.1cm (0.85
inch) in diameter. (via Macminute) Less than 10 years ago when I had
my BBS and FidoNet hub "the Source!" (spelled that way) I had a much
bigger disk with much less capacity that imploded. Henrik Jørgensen
came to the rescue, lending me a 4GB scsi disk and a scsi controller

According to The Inquirer,
Japanese companies are rapidly increasing production of their small
hard drives as, unsurprisingly, the demand for tiny storage that will
fit in portable electronics increases rapidly. Toshiba is planning on
ramping up production of its tiny 0.85-inch hard drives to a rate of
almost 200,000 a month, while Hitachi will increase its 1-inch drive
production to two million units per quarter. Global hard drive markers
shipped 260 million units in fiscal 2003, 80 percent of which went
into servers and PCs. The remaining percentage, which goes into home
electronics, are expected to grow by 50% each year -- I'm betting it
will be even greater than that once the manufacturers can get enough
tiny units into the channels. Two years from now there won't be a
single smartphone announced without a hard drive.

Toshiba has
semi-announced that they will claim the throne of "world's smallest
portable audio player containing a hard drive" in 2005, thanks to
their 0.85 inch hard drive announced in January. The iPod mini,
freshly released in Japan, currently holds the title. It's not the
size that matters, Toshiba. Wait, yeah it is, sorry. The capacity of
Toshiba's new player is expected to be 2GB or more.

with a 3 GB hard drive cellphone with a Windows Mobile OS. Samsung has
also released a new 7 MP camera phone which resembles a camera more
then it does a phone. The SCH-V770 has a 2 inch TFT display above a
the keypad and gives you manual focus and controllable shutter speeds.
Many of these new products will be altered slightly before they reach
the US.

world's first mobile phone that incorporates a hard drive.
The SPH-V5400 includes 1.5GB of hard disk storage as well as an FM
radio, 64-voice polyphonic ringtone support, a 240 x 320 display and
TV output preparing the way for the day when mobiles incorporate
Microsoft Portable Media Center-style functionality.

Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders
09/14/2004 11:18 AM
Oops, I almost forgot about these new cameras
announced from JVC - the ones they've been hyping up to no end as
their big "mystery product." Basically, they're camcorders with hard
drives in them - a 4GB microdrive, to be exact. They look pretty cool
and everything, but they're really most interesting because they are
the first consumer camcorder with a built-in hard drive, not because
they do anything particularly unique. That being said, I fully support
this idea, and think most consumer recording technology should move to
hard drives as soon as possible (I'll be waiting until you can get
something with a bigger hard drive than 4GB for less than $1,500,
though).
Both models (the GZ-MC100 and the GZ-MC200) can record up to 9Mbps
in MPEG2, though, which is DVD quality.

Memory Reading Hard Drive
06/30/2004 12:37 PM
The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external
hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only
integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and
can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why
would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the
primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory
cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives
as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you
can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for
only the price of additional hard drives.

The ability to make an emergency call has been given as the top reason

Mobal, the international phone company. Mobal conducted the survey of
its customers after reporting an 80% increase in international cell

Toshiba's new hard drives are the size of a nickel and can store over
a gigabyte of data.
The 0.85 inch diameter disk is believed to be the world's smallest
hard disk drive that can store about 2 or 3 gigabytes worth of
information, company spokeswoman Midori Suzuki said Monday.

very good sign. I'm trying it out now, and if it all goes as it seems
like it will, I'll be plunking down my 40 euros for the unrestricted
version. (The restriction is that after 30 days, you can't read the
backups. [Correction: Nope. You can read the backup, but can't make
any new ones after 30 days. Sorry.])...
