Tech Critiques Episode 101
This week in the news we talk about Toshiba's announcement that they are coming out with the industry's first 512GB SSD (Solid State Drive). And could these drives be put into Apple's products. Now that the storage capacity for SSD drives is larger I vote yes for putting them into everything. Konami a major console game developer has announced that they are coming out with Metal Gear Solid for the iPhone. Plus two other Konami games for the iPhone. Palm is back in the news with a new OS called NOVA. Palm will be releasing more details about the NOVA OS and the new platform that the NOVA OS will be used for at CES 2009. Can Palm make a come back or is it to little to late for Palm and the Palm OS. YouTube has created a new landing page to gather all the HD video available on it's video sharing site. They did this to make it easier for users to find the HD content on YouTube. Also a student in Canada has figured out how to increase cell phone battery life by re-aligning the wireless antenna. The inventor, Atif Shamim, an electronics PhD student at Carleton University, has filed for patents on the technology.
