Today, good news comes from the developers of the famous VLC video player. They intend to launch a new software called VideoLAN Movie Creator (VLMC), which will simply be an editing software.
When we talk about the VLC free software, we can only hope that they develop a product of equal quality. In my opinion, we have to wait for a few months before the arrival of a fully functional software.
Also a pre-release version of VLMC will be available soon Linux, Windows and Mac, so stay tuned !
4, 8, 16 and now 32 GB, the capacity of the iPhone has had since 2007 a geometric progression that we do not see stopping any time soon, especially as the flash memory used in mobile terminals , is also growing rapidly. Their price per gigabyte continues to fall, and also making great strides. The latest in date comes from Toshiba, which already powers the current iPhone 3GS. The 64GB chips announced this week they will meet in the coming iPhone and iPod Touch?
Today, when a device like the iPhone has a capacity of 32 GB, it loads often eight chips of NAND Flash memory of 4 GB each. One limitation to the increase in capacity comes from the space available within the device to store the chips. This is probably one of the reasons that the iPod Touch offers superior capabilities to those of the iPhone: since his bowels are less congested, it is easy to store more Flash memory cards.
In his way, Toshiba might solve the problem of handset manufacturers, since the Japanese announces the production of a memory chip, which alone has a capacity of 64 GB one size larger than the traditional chips, this new reference is actually an assembly of chips smaller capacity, combined with the controller they need to operate within a single package.
Thus, to put 64GB of memory in a terminal, it is no longer necessary to provide a PCB on which we place 16 memory chips: they are already assembled together within a framework that takes much less space.
So there is no miracle behind this ad, but rather an integration effort directed at the production, which can reach densities that are not able to obtain when working with manufacturers of the chips’ unit. These new chips “all in one” Toshiba expected to begin production in the first quarter of 2010. At that time, it is possible to see smartphones offer significant capacity mounted at 64 or 128 GB iPhone and iPod Touch could be part of the lot.
