We are hearing today that Apple [AAPL] are working on their latest iPhone OS numbered 4.0. The new OS still has a way to go before being launched, but it seems like multitasking is going to be included for 3rd party apps. Currently there are a few apps built by Apple that can multi task such as email and iPod to name a couple.The current OS 3.x does multitask, but 3rd party apps are prevented artificially for various reasons such as security. If they open it up there could be problems with applications accessing other applications etc…Other problems caused with multitasking are to do with memory assignment and battery life. When applications are loaded up there has to be some communication between apps on what memory allocations can be used. Also battery life suffers having to...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have managed to create some flexible flash memory that can be rolled with a curvature of up to 6mm before the electronics break. To achieve this the researchers managed to put memory cells on to a polyethylene naphthalate sheet. There are limitations though as the current prototypes and test units are only capable of storing data for about a day before the information degrades, however, it’s a step in the right direction that eventually will lead to some super slim memory modules that will be far easier to embed in to slim electronic gadgets. The memory currently uses 6V to erase along with 1V to read and this process can currently be performed 1,000 times on the memory. Although not the highest, the research is still in very early stages so...

The Future, yesterday. It’s the future, I tells ya. Upload speeds as fast as lightening, or at least faster than most broadband user’s download speeds. Virgin Media is about to test broadband upload speeds of up to 10Mbps, barely two years since Virgin and other mainstream broadband suppliers were selling us the dream of 8Mbps for downloading. Virgin Media states that at this super duper speed, a user could upload a memory card full of full frontal images to The Hun* in just two minutes, although that’s based on a 128Mb card containing 75 photos at 1.6Mb each. That’s a low resolution and titchy card size for even an average digital camera these days; Virgin are seemingly throwing around small numbers to make the service sound more impressive when they didn’t...
