| | | Samsung, Toshiba, notable absentees from ONFI members' list | | Posted Tuesday, January 23, 2007 3:17:37 PM by Blog57 Team | | Samsung, Toshiba, two leading makers of NAND flash memory, remain the notable absentees from the ranks of the eight-month-old Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) organization. A third influential name absent from the ONFI members' list is SanDisk Corp. (San Jose, Calif.), a leading vendor of NAND flash memory cards, USB drives and MP3 players. Samsung and Toshiba have controlled close to 75 percent of the world market for NAND flash memory between them. So their support for ONFI could be highly supportive. However, there are apparently three members of ONFI not listed at the group's website, raising the possibility that some prominent names could have joined recently and not yet been listed there. ONFI was put together by Intel Corp. in the first half of 2006 and formally launched, with the backing of Hynix, STMicroelectronics, Micron Technology and Sony, in May 2006.... | |

| | | Wireless broadband numbers set to hit 1m by 2010 | | Posted Wednesday, November 15, 2006 11:29:19 AM by Blog57 Team | | A seven-fold increase in wireless and mobile broadband will see subscriber numbers reach one million by 2010, IDC has predicted. The analyst firm claimed the arrival of 3G, faster HSDPA data cards, and the ratification of WiMax, would help increase subscriber numbers. In 2005, the wireless broadband market, characterised by companies such as Unwired and PBA, had more 81,000 subscribers. By comparison, the mobile broadband market, fuelled by 3G offerings by the big four mobile telco players, numbered some 62,000 subscribers. IDC wireless and mobility analyst, Jerson Yau, said the combination of Australia's geographically diverse population, and increasing demand for mobile connectivity in the business sector, were key drivers. But while rival research firm, Ovum, has claimed mobile broadband would topple wireless broadband in the coming years, Yau said the race for subscribers and dominance would be a much closer affair.... | |
