Holy crap ThatsBadAss! Look at the size of that GPS chip!
SiRF Technology has just announced a breakthrough in GPS chip technology. They are boasting the obvious small physical size of the chip but also the fact that it only consumer 1% of the power the chips use today. They add that the chip is more reliable and allows for always-on GPS devices to last significantly longer between charges.

Toshiba has announced their next line of huge SD cards coming in the Spring of 2010.
The 64GB card uses the new SDXC memory standard while the 32GB and 16GB use the older SDHC. There is a catch though, existing camera’s are not likely to be able to read the format without some modification. For example a flash of the firmware to update the features. But then again some of those hacks require that you have the hacked firmware on the card to load once the camera is started up. No worries though, I am sure some enterprising hacker will come up with something.
Toshiba is also claiming that with the new SDXC format they will be able to make cards up to 2TB in the near future, possibly 4TB.
