Enabling Technology: Week of 4/16/06
The Law of Mobility talks about value increasing with mobility. The impact of this law is being felt because the cost of adding mobility into products is falling, making it a no-brainer for mobility to be built into everything. Here are examples of technology advances enabling this to happen:
- “Memory liquid crystal” displays
- Increased efficiency batteries
- Wireless data cards for ExpressCard slots
- Dense memory
- High-speed, high-density memory cards
- Low power wireless chips
- Low power, high performance processors
- Voice-enabled search
- Color ePaper/eInk
- Electrowetting displays
- Background noise eliminating technology
- High speed video CMOS
- Next-gen mobile operating systems
