Psst,
Do You Know What's in Your MP3 Player?
Electronic News - San Jose,CA,USA
Even a company’s best intentions to comply with Europe’s upcoming
Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations may not be enough to guarantee
that compliance.
A lack of standards for gathering information combined with limited
understanding of the pending rules are making it difficult to ensure that all
the components used in building electronic devices will be free of such
substances as lead, cadmium and mercury. And if products do show up on the
market after the July 1, 2006, deadline, they could well be barred from sale in
places like Europe or China.
“There’s enormous room for error,” said Michael Kirschner, president of Design
Chain Associates, a consulting firm that focuses on environmental issues. “We’ve
seen some manufacturers supply an enormous amount of information while others
supply zero or are scrambling under a mountain of requests.”Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Apple
to buy 40% of Samsung's flash chips-analyst
Reuters Canada - Toronto,Canada
SEOUL (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. plans to buy as much as 40 percent
of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.'s flash memory output in the second half for its
new flash-based iPod Mini MP3 player, research firm iSuppli Corp. said on
Wednesday, quoting unidentified industry sources.
Apple, known for its popular iPod digital music player, is expected to introduce
a version of the iPod Mini that uses NAND flash memory instead of a hard disk
drive for the Christmas season, Nam Hyung Kim, an analyst at iSuppli Corp. said.
"To support production of its flash memory-based iPods, Apple has booked as much
as 40 percent of the NAND output of Samsung for the second half of 2005,
according to our industry sources," Nam said.
"We're not sure now many of the new iPods Apple can sell this holiday season,
but 40 percent would be the maximum in terms of their demand," he added.
South Korea's Samsung is the world's largest producer of NAND flash memory, used
in hot-selling MP3 music players, digital cameras and high-end mobile phones,
commanding a 55 percent share of the market.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Digital
music king may lose crown
CNN
International - USA
That is the message to Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs from almost every
other company in the digital music space vying for consumer attention after
several years of domination by the iPod and iTunes.
Apple's successful combination of sexy design and elegant usability has
propelled the iPod to the top of the digital music market as the undisputed
king.
Every move Apple makes these days results in victory. As the rest of the
flash-player market floundered, Apple took over the category in a day with the
release of the iPod Shuffle. It turned podcasting from a cool-sounding
technology that nobody used to a legitimate format by adding it to the new
version of iTunes -- and generating 2 million subscriptions in less than a week.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
