Samsung's New Ultra Slim 30-Nanometer Flash Memory Chips Will Cause Gadget Shrinkage
With stacks of eight being only 0.6mm thick, Samsung's new 30-nanometer NAND chips are practically anorexic, but for once that's a good thing. Thinner chips like these could bring smaller gadgets and hopefully also lead to lower SSD prices. According to Samsung, their new chips are actually the sl
Python On Android: Broadening Horizons
At the moment, developers of Android Applications must know and use Java or be S.O.L. but it seems that could change thanks to some crafty developers. Using an existing tutorial on how to cross compile Python, Damon Kohler rewrote and customized the code to install Python Version 2.4.5 on his A
USB 3.0 Only Running at a Quarter of Maximum Speed
We're still more than excited about USB 3.0, but those of us expecting it to reach promised transfer speeds of 5000Mb/s this year are overly optimistic. According to a TD Daily interview with a representative of the USB Implementers Forum, when USB 3.0 devices hit shelves in late 2009, we can

Nanotech Breakthrough Could Make Satellite Imaging 20x More Powerful
Take a few of my favorite subjects: quantum dots, satellites, and gold. Mix them together, and what do you get? A breakthrough from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that could revolutionize infrared detection. Somewhere, the Predator is jealous. What the RPI researchers have managed to do incr![Blazing Samsung 256GB SSD Is the One We've Been Waiting For [Ssd]](http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/05/256ssd.jpg)
Blazing Samsung 256GB SSD Is the One We've Been Waiting For [Ssd]
This is the solid-state drive that we've been waiting for: a full 256GB, which Samsung says is "the world's fastest and largest capacity 2.5-inch, MLC-based SSD with SATA II Interface." Sick sequential read and sequential write speeds of 200 and 160 MBps, respectively, put it in the same speed rangeHydroFILL Squeezes Electricity Out of Your Tap Water

Fuel cell outfitter Horizon is now offering a personal hydrogen power plant for use with its MiniPAK and HydroSTIK products. Although it isn’t cheap, the system will (cleanly!) charge all of your small devices using the same water you drink.
The HydroFILL allows users to generate their own hydrogen and recharge the company’s proprietary HydroSTIK miniature hydrogen tanks themselves, rather than having to spring for new ones when expended. Those two components, combined with the HydroPAK charging dock, will allow you to use essentially water to charge a variety of devices and peripherals. No more phone wall chargers, ever!
Still, for the time being this technology won’t enter your home cheaply, with the HydroFILL tank priced at $499.99 (plus an optional $649.99 solar panel if you want to go truly off the grid). But each HydroSTIK packs the juice of 1,000 AA batteries, so hardcore chargers should be able to earn that back. Plus, next time someone is over at your place and needs to charge their phone, you can say, “Oh, one sec, let me see if my personal power plant is done generating hydrogen.” [Horizon via designboom]
