5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Seagate has formally announced its Digital Audio Video Experience (D.A.V.E) technology – the project previously code-named "Crickett" – at the DEMO 07 Conference in Palm Desert, California. The DAVE platform offers 10-20 GB of wireless storage in an accessory smaller than many common slim-line mobile phones. It is designed to store, play and share digital files on mobile phones, PCs and other wireless-enabled devices. Using Bluetooth or WiFi wireless connections with a nine metre range, DAVE is the size of a centimetre-thick credit card and weighs in at 70gm. It is designed to live in your shirt pocket, backpack, or purse. Utilising Seagate's Storage Management Module power-saving technology unveiled at CES, the rechargeable lithium ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of media-streaming and up to 14 days of standby power. The mobile storage platform is open source, enabling third party software developers to create new applications for the mobile phone utilising the hard drive. It is built on a set of open API platform accessible to developers using current development tools. A DAVE Software Developers Kit will be available in March 2007. Seagate is expected to sell DAVE through phone vendors and telcos, and an add-on accessory, rather than as a Seagate-branded stand alone device. {moscomment} |
