Sanyo have developed a new more powerful blue laser diode that can burn through Blu-Ray Disks far enough to accurately write four 25GB layers allowing for 100GB of storage.
Currently Blu-Ray disks are limited to 50GB of data.
The new laser is reported to be very fast as well, it can burn disks at 12x which means it could fill an entire 100GB disk in 10 minutes!
During a recent S60 podcast Nokia did a slide presentation that included a glimpse of an unknown Nokia device that included a large touch screen on the front and opens up to reveal a 2nd full internal touch screen.
The external screen is said to swivel 180 degrees, allowing the two touchscreens to face each other.
I personally love my E90 so I would love to see a major upgrade like this. I will remain skeptical until I something more solid is released.

Esquire’s October issue will have 100,000 copies sold with a flashing E-Ink display. This is the first magazine to ever use E-Ink and the technology used is exclusive to Esquire until 2009.
E-Ink is a type of electronic paper that is typically used in E-Book devices such as the Sony Reader of the Amazon Kindle. E-Ink is essentially millions of micro capsules containing one positively charged white particle and one negatively charged black particle. When a negative electric field is applied, the white particles move to the top of the microcapsule to become visible to the reader. This makes the surface appear white at that spot. At the same time, an opposite electric field pulls the black particles to the bottom of the microcapsules where they are hidden. By reversing this process, the black particles appear at the top of the capsule, which now makes the surface appear dark at that spot.
Unlike other electronic displays this means that power is only needed to change ...
Well Spore has finally arrived after so many delays and seems to be receiving some mixed responses, though on average they do seem to be positive.
It looks like it could be a love it or hate it sort of game. A lot of gamers are criticising it for being repetitive and shallow. This appears to stem from the fact that the game covers 5 gaming genres over 5 stages. This has led to each section being implemented in a somewhat shallow manor compared to its fully fledged ...
Music broadcaster (although it’s been a long time since MTV’s core channels could be classed as music programming) MTV has confirmed today that it plans to launch a HD TV service in the UK by the end of 2008.
MTVNHD will be a 24-hour service originating in Poland, with a mix of bought-in and original programming, including extreme sports, music charts packages and live concerts.
MTVNHD will also broadcast a block of programming from sister network Nickelodeon, including Spongebob.
Availability of the channel is unconfirmed at the moment, but Sky HD is almost certain to be included. Virgin Media and Freesat HD customers will have to wait and see.
After a delay of almost two months, O2 UK has today confirmed the official pricing for the iPhone handset on PAYG.
£399 will get you the 16Gb model, while £349 buys the 8Gb.
As part of the deal, you get free Wi-fi and browsing for the first 12 months - but it’ll be £10 a month after that.
No word on how fair their fair use policies are, but £349 for a gizmo as easy to use as the iPhone, even for use as a PDA and web browser, doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
