More Chips Squeeze Into Handhelds
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 03:30 PM
"Toshiba has developed a new chip-production technology that increases by 50 percent the number of layers of components that can be crammed inside a standard Multi-Chip Package for use in products such as cell phones and PDAs, the company says. For users of cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, and other small-size portable electronics, it could mean even smaller devices. Manufacturers could shrink the device's size because chips can be consolidated into single packages. Or, manufacturers could produce more feature-rich and powerful products, because additional memory and other components can be added with no sacrifice to size."
Sounds good, but I wonder if any Pocket PC using this chip won't be compatible with OS upgrades? :lol:
