World’s smallest power supply

We have been looking at the ecosystem growing around VIA’s ITX and Nano-ITX platforms and we’ve just discovered what has to be the smallest PSU around.

The picoPSU, by MiniBox, is barely the size of an ATX connector. It’s 120W, and has a couple of molex connectors and a floppy connector, as well as an input jack for mains power.

It’s designed for use in embedded systems where space is at a premium. It’s 100% silent, has a lack of messy cables and provides enough power to keep a Pentium M or Via C3 processor juiced up, depending on the other peripherals in the system.

Bye-bye hard drive, hello flash

Manufacturers of NAND flash memory say they will expand the market for their chips over the next few years and colonize devices that now rely on hard drives or other types of memory. In turn, this could mean phones that can record several hours of video, or smaller notebooks with twice or more the battery life.

The NAND noise will be particularly strong at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week in Las Vegas, with manufacturers showing off the solid-state technology as an increasingly important component in cell phones and talking up how it will find its way into notebook hard drives in 2006.

TDK starts with the mass-production of Blu-Ray DVD’s

I’m very exited about this!!!
“Just in case you were curious to see what you’ll have spindles of probably by this time next year, TDK’s officially started production of single and dual-layer single sided BD-Rs and BD-REs (which is just their nomenclature for “BD-RWs”). They’re apparently apt to hyping Durabis, the anti-scratch / smudge / dust coating on Blu-ray discs (even though Durabis is standard for Blu-ray media), but no word on cost per disc. Just don’t be surprised when it’s, um, a lot — you know the price we all pay for being an early adopter. Remember how much CD-Rs used to cost?”
