Windows 7 beta, flexible Displays et. all

Just came across this interesting video of tech updates...
the holy grail of M$soft...Apple wireless charging station, OLED flex display....Sony Cybershot camera that transmits images to internet websites, or to a WIFIed television across the room, Liquid Cooled Computers, that look like Motor Radiators he he he, Geting real with Duck Hunt Game- YES, its now Real world point and shoot game, rather than sitting in front of your PC like a lame duck!!!

Wireless Power Charging - recharge your devices wirelessly...

Recharge your portable devices such as laptops, Mobile Phones, MP3 players etc without getting tied down to a power socket...

WIFI or Wireless LANs have already freed up IT users from their desks, and are freely connected to their networks where wireless signals are available.

A similar setup, where your devices are recharged without connecting to a power socket is under research from quite some time...

Reality check:
Eight companies have formed a consortium with the aim of developing a wireless power standard. Convinient power, Fulton innovation, Logitech, National Semiconductor, Philips, Sanyo, Shenzhen sangfei communications and texas instruments are members of this group that sees wireless power charging taking away the need of wires and connectors.

The goal is to create charging station upon which you drop your mobile devices and it charges. no fuss of wires, no fuss. The standard works for devices that are close to each other and employs the principple of magnetic induction.


More of such glimpses into the crystal ball of futuristic technologies as and when they happen. Till then, Signing off,

Storage devices that will not Crash!

Thought about many topics to post, however, somethings on my mind to post about new technologies whenever they strike to me...

This is a first valid posting towards a new category i would like to call THE TECHNOLOGY CRYSTAL BALL...

Upcomming trends towards sturdy storage devices, that do not crash each time they fall off your desk or laptop lead to Solid State Storage, SSD as they are called. SSDs are currently in their 10s of Gbs availibility, but Hard drives that store upto 500Gbs are available and that too at price points much cheaper than say a 8Gb SSD.

Reality check:
Toshiba announced the first 2.5 inch SSD based on 43Nanometer cell circuits. They are announced in capacities upto 512Gb. You can look at prices falling to affordable levels very soon.
