Samsung developed 8GB microSD Card |
|
 |
| |
Samsung Electronics Co.,
Ltd., the world leader in advanced semiconductor technology solutions, today
announced that it has developed an 8Gigabyte (GB) microSD (Secure Digital)
memory card, a size optimal for today’s multimedia mobile phones. Featuring
the highest capacity today for a microSD card, the new fingernail-sized
card is capable of storing 2,000 MP3 music files, 4,000 digital photos,
or approximately 5 DVD-quality movies.
SD cards, to date, have been largely used for data storage in digital
still cameras and increasingly in televisions. MicroSD cards, which are
a quarter the size of an SD card, are backward compatible with SD cards
using an extender, to allow multimedia files downloaded by mobile phones
to be easily displayed on other media.
With a read speed of 16 Megabytes (MBs) per second and a write speed
of 6MB/s, Samsung’s 8GB microSD card well exceeds the Speed Class 4 SDHC
(Secure Digital High Capacity) standard which requires a data write speed
of 4MB/s. This is also much faster than the SD Speed Class 2 designation
carried by most competing microSD cards currently on the market.

FreeHand no longer updated; moving to Illustrator |
|
|
| |
After a long and storied career, Adobe (neé Altsys, Aldus, and Macromedia) FreeHand has reached the end of its development road. The application has not been revised since Macromedia released MX nearly four years ago, after which the company removed FreeHand from the Studio product line. Adobe has created an FAQ (PDF) that explains the details of the decision not to rev FreeHand, talks about Illustrator CS3 features added to make FreeHand users more comfortable, and more. Here are the highlights:
Adobe and FreeHand
Adobe does not plan to develop and deliver any new feature-based releases of FreeHand, or to deliver patches or updates for new operating systems or hardware. Adobe will, however, continue to sell FreeHand MX, and will offer technical and customer support according to our support policies.
FreeHand Upgrade Path
A special upgrade to Illustrator CS3 is available to all registered owners of FreeHand for $199 U.S. This upgrade is available worldwide through the Adobe Store and through the Channel. There is no direct FreeHand to Creative Suite 3 upgrade, but FreeHand owners who also own Adobe or Macromedia products that are eligible for upgrade to the Suite can use that path to move to the Suite.
Support for Customers Making the Move
A number of materials are available at no cost to help customers make the move from FreeHand to Illustrator. All of these materials can be found on the Switch to Illustrator pages on Adobe.com and on the Illustrator Design Center.
