IPods - Does Size Really Matter?

If you discuss, iPods, the size thing very well. Your iPod may be less. Again. According to Bill Watkins, the former CEO of Seagate, known as a computer components manufacturer, his new company, vertical circles, has shown how to fill the £ 10 per pound in two music musician. The company has a type of flash memory, capable of maintaining high-speed memory information, which is much smaller than what the iPod and computer manufacturers are now in their products without compromising the integrity and sound quality and sufficient space for larger, more powerful batteries and LCD displays.

According to Watkins, companies like Dell and Apple will have enough money for the technology, their products thinner and thinner. The difference of one millimeter is for these companies. Company specializes in the new industry, the so-called 3-D stacking technology. This is a method of the semiconductor chip is at the top of the other and form the electrical connections between them. This means that they can communicate more quickly and reduce the need for cables protrude from one component to another in the device. It also uses the vertical space of the product better. They have developed, such as the linking of these smaller memory chips and chips for other specialized agencies such as graphics chips and computer chips.

However, vertical circles are located primarily on the combination of flash memory chips used in devices such as iPods in a way more efficient. Most of the methods that are now used to connect these flash memory chips require heavy use of packaging to electricity to flow between the chip and in a world in which hand-held devices are becoming progressively the smallest, most domestic manufacturer is not the way they want to go. Vertical district has a solution for this problem, the chips of the filler and the link.

The solution is a silver drip - in the absence of a better description - that the bonds of chips together and reduces the need for wires or any other way to connect with roasted potatoes and an electrical connection. Chip with high capacity can be used because they save space in the device leakage. While 1 / 6 millimeters in May does not seem to be a very great distance, it's like a mile, when you are on the space between the covers an iPod. And that's the difference between using a larger battery for longer play time or a larger screen on the device.

Equipment using this silver drip cooking planned to start in the market for some time in late 2009th However, there are concerns that the handheld devices are growing little things can go wrong with them. They are susceptible to damage resulting from the knock-chips from the alignment and can cause memory issues. Smaller units with larger batteries could also be vulnerable to overheating. The smaller of these devices get, the more work we can see the workshops in the future.
