Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
However, SSD prices are coming down faster than the mature hard disk
technology and sooner or later - some say within the next three years -
the tipping point will come. This is is especially so with advances
such as the one discussed in a Cnet article
by Troy Winslow, marketing manager for the NAND Products Group at Intel.
The issue is not just that Intel's coming 160GB SSD will be the highest
capacity silicon storage device to date. It's also that, being based on
the SATA II specification, it will be significantly faster than
previous generation SSD products and certainly much faster than any
hard disks.
Once again, however, the question will be price. Until high capacity
SSD devices are in the low hundreds of dollars, which doesn't appear to
be likely for the next couple of years at least, magnetic drive makers
can keep flogging their buggy whips for all they're worth. So the end
will come for hard drives but it will be a long time coming.
