WebOS users, get ready. After today, your beloved webOS device is going to be a lot more useful thanks to the 1.4 update that is set to go live any time. Besides your typical bug fixes and performance tweaks, the biggest talking point of this latest update is the inclusion of Flash 10, bringing a richer mobile experience to the mobile internet junkies. Worried about battery life? Don’t. As we saw yesterday, a Nexus One stress tested with Flash web pages and...

You may recall Steve Job’s now infamous quote many days back stating that if Adobe Flash were supported on the iPad, the battery life would fall from 10hrs. to 1.5hrs. A bold claim to make and one that I can neither confirm or deny being that I don’t actually have an iPad to play with. Even still, such a drop in battery life doesn’t seem very plausible.

For flash storage buffs, the still several year out 2TB SDXC cards seem like it’s as good as it’ll get, or at the very least, the most exciting thing in flash storage. I too thought that — until five minutes ago. You see, it was then that I stumbled onto an article highlighting CompactFlash 5.0 and it’s new capacity ceiling. So, just how high will it go? How’s 144 petabytes sound? Yes, that’s a P as in a ton. I don’t even have...
