SanDisk launches 'œworld's largest' microSDHC and M2 cards at 16GB!
The 16GB barrier has been broken for the microSDHC and M2 (Memory Stick
Micro) formats with SanDisk set to launch 16GB models in October. It
gives added weight to its “Wake up your phone” campaign, forces phone

E3: Sony should announce cheaper PS3s for the world (and Australia!)
With the Xbox 360 getting nice price cuts, and the Wii still
competitively priced, the pricey PS3 looms large as the most expensive
console with games and graphics that aren’t all that different from the
Xbox 360. E3 is the moment Sony should grab hold of with both hands to
slice the PS3’s price!

Blu-ray PC drive prices slashed - but are they slashed enough?
We’re a long, long way from $50 Blu-ray drive prices and less than $1
per blank Blu-ray disc as we are in the world of CDs and DVDs, but an
important step towards those price points being a reality has occurred
as prices have fallen. Still, aren’t hard drives way cheaper to buy
than Blu-ray drives and discs?!

Can Neil Young help Sun and Sony reinvent music media?
I've been a Neil Young fan since "After The Goldrush" (yes I'm that old) so seeing the fuss being made about him at Sun's JavaOne conference where he publicly threw his support behind Java and Blu-ray technologies naturally perked my interest. The question is can the likes of Young help the developers of Java and Blu-ray change the way music is packaged and sold?
