Scientists at Hewlett-Packard have found a new type of component for an electrical circuit that, if developed, would mean that computers will never have to boot up (except for the first time, at least). They call it the memory resistor, or memristor. Details after the "read more" link below.

A new technology being developed by IBM can potentially expand your favorite media storage device to over 500,000 songs or around 3,500 movies. Using a special "racetrack" memory technology, the new storage device will have the capability to store more data in the same amount of space possible with lightning fast boot times and lower production costs. For more details regarding this new technology, read more about it in our full article.

While it's good news that Intel and Micron introduced the fastest NAND flash memory chip to date, there's more good news on the horizon. A substantial decline in the price of NAND flash memory has gadget companies in a race to bring forward tech with larger storage capacities and lower pricetags. Details in the full article.

Two of the biggest names in the tech industry, Intel Corporation and Micron Technologies, Inc., have unveiled the world's fasted 8 Gb high speed NAND flash memory technology. Sporting nearly five times the data transfer speed compared to today's conventional NAND and SSD
products, this newly developed technology is bound to spell good news for techies who want to pack in more data on to their favored digital storage devices.

Looks like it's time to say goodbye to your storage space woes, because Sony just revealed the 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. It's going to cost a good amount of greenbacks, but if you're still interested, hit that jump to the full article!

Asian consumer electronics giants Samsung and Toshiba are teaming up to give the NAND flash memory market more options. The two have agreed to license their proprietary NAND wares to each other so that the industry can rely on more than just a single producer.

Samsung Electronics recently announced the development of what it is calling the world's fastest memory chip.

This chip, called the GDDR5 (series five, graphics double-data-rate memory), can transfer data at six gigabits per second, approximately four times faster than the memory chips found within state-of-the-art game consoles today.

With a whole slew of memory card formats out there it's good news to hear that three big mobile phone companies - Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson - are cooperating to push for a standard unified format. Their plan is to have one single format for mobile phones, digital cameras and other gadgetry that requires a memory card.

Memory card companies are also said to be on board, like Micron Technology Inc., Spansion LLC, STMicroelectronics NV, and Texas Instruments Inc. We might not see the "one card" take over the gadget kingdom in the near future, but with technology running on its current pace it won't be surprising to see it take effect sooner than we expect.
