  • Credit Card-Size Hard Drive Can Hold 5GB - StorCard can contain from 100MB to more than 5GB of data on a plastic card. At first glance, it looks like a credit card, and even has a magnetic strip like a credit card, for potential use in standard credit card readers. The hard disk data, however, is accessed on a tiny spinning disk inside the thin card. The card actually has moveable parts inside its thin shell," says Bill Heil, vice president of StorCard. A spinning wheel made of Mylar is engaged when the card is inserted into a StorReader, a USB-connected drive or PC Card that reads and writes to the StorCard. The reader is expected to retail for under $100 and the cards for under $15 each, Heil says. The StorCard and StorReader are scheduled to become available in the second half of 2003.
  • Acer to launch world's first 14.1-inch Tablet PC in 2Q - According to sources, in the second quarter of 2003 Acer will launch the world's first 14.1-inch TFT LCD Tablet PC. The company's first Tablet PC - the TravelMate C100 - was equipped with a 10.4-inch screen and has sold 35,000 units since its launch last year. With the larger screen, Acer will leapfrog brand vendors such as Toshiba and Motion Computing, which have adopted 12.1-inch screens. Acer decided not to use a 12.1-inch screen because the price of 14.1-inch panel is close to that of 12.1-inch, sources said.
