			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ADATA Technology, the worldwide leader in DRAM modules and flash  memory products, has recently released its latest Micro Memory Card Reader, the  microReader version III, an ultra-compact and stylish solution for easy  and convenient data transfers between mobile phones and PCs via  High-Speed USB 2.0 interface.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tech2day.com/wp-content/images10/adata-microreader-v3-memory-card-reader.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1309  aligncenter" title="adata-microreader-v3-memory-card-reader" src="http://www.tech2day.com/wp-content/images10/adata-microreader-v3-memory-card-reader.jpg" alt="adata-microreader-v3-memory-card-reader" width="350" height="325" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-1307"></span></p>
<p>For users of digital devices who are constantly on the go,  moving and sharing personal files from memory-enabled phones to other  devices can be a hassle when there is no USB cable on hand.</p>
<p>Weighing  just 3 grams, and the size of a small coin, the new ADATA microReader is  one of the smallest card readers available on the market, with  incredible portability that provides the freedom of data transfers any  time, any place.</p>
<p>Due to its ultra-compact size, the microReader can be  plugged into the USB slot of a notebook PC at all times, without  blocking the neighboring slots or getting in the way when the computer  is stowed in a bag.</p>
<p>Unlike most conventional memory card readers, which have unfriendly  card retrieval designs, the microReader features a patented one-push  card-ejector that makes any data transfer a fast and pleasant  experience. Available in elegant black and passionate red colors, the  microReader features a stylish LED indicator that shines brightly when  the device is in use.</p>
<p>To further facilitate a better user experience, the microReader  is also available in a kit bundling with corresponding ADATA  microSD/microSDHC memory cards. By combining the two together, the  versatile microReader instantly converts itself into an ultra-compact  USB drive that allows users to share their music, video, photos and more  with great ease.</p>
<p>Users can also take full advantage of ADATA’s free-download  value-added software, including UFDtoGO, OStoGO and the latest Norton  Internet Security 2011 (60-day trial) to enhance both mobility and  security of their ADATA products with just few easy mouse clicks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards,  graphics cards and other computing hardware solutions, today unveiled  several exciting new technologies during a COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2011 pre-show  press conference held at the GIGABYTE head office.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tech2day.com/wp-content/images10/gigabyte-x58a-ud9-motherboard.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1247    aligncenter" title="gigabyte-x58a-ud9-motherboard" src="http://www.tech2day.com/wp-content/images10/gigabyte-x58a-ud9-motherboard.jpg" alt="gigabyte-x58a-ud9-motherboard" width="475" height="356" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-1246"></span></p>
<p>The new technologies  feature on upcoming GIGABYTE 6 series motherboards (based on Intel® 6  series chipsets) with the purpose of providing Maximum CPU Power for  reliable high-performance computing.</p>
<p>Tim Handley, Deputy Director  of Motherboard Marketing at GIGABYTE, explained their innovate and  disseminate strategy where new innovations are launched on extreme  enthusiast models, such as the X58A-UD9 that debuted at Computex 2010,  and then make their way down to the high-end and mainstream models.</p>
<p>Demonstrating GIGABYTE&#8217;s soon-to-be-released flagship motherboard, the  GA-P67A-UD7, he highlighted GIGABYTE&#8217;s Maximum CPU Power technology with  an industry-leading 24 phase power design, an Intel® approved Intersil  Voltage Regulator Down (VRD) 12 compliant PWM controller, Dual CPU  Power, Driver MOSFETs (the new addition to GIGABYTE&#8217;s signature Ultra  Durable 3 features), proprietary DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD technology,10 USB  3.0 ports (total of 18 USB ports with 8 USB 2.0), 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX  support, 3x USB Power, On/Off Charge and more.</p>
<p>&#8220;The amount and  quality of power is the key to CPU performance, as we demonstrated  earlier this year with the industry-leading CPU power design on the  X58A-UD9 motherboard that is capable of delivering up to 1500Watts,&#8221;  commented Tim Handley.</p>
<p>&#8220;CPU power design improvements on the 6 series  motherboards include the Intel® VRD 12 approved Intersil PWM controller  chip, as well as high quality Driver MOSFETs that ensure better  efficiency with first class system performance and stability.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>New VRD 12 (Voltage Regulator Down) Specification Design</strong></p>
<p>GIGABYTE  6 series motherboards are designed with Intel&#8217;s latest Voltage  Regulator Down specification (VRD 12) using the Intel® qualified  Intersil PWM controller that offers SerialVID (SVID) for transfering  power management information between the processor and voltage regulator  controller. This allows more robust and efficient signaling control  between the CPU and PWM controller, hence delivering a more energy  efficient platform.</p>
<p><strong>Maximum CPU Power Delivery</strong></p>
<p>GIGABYTE 6  series motherboards with their unique CPU power design, promise to  deliver first class system performance and stability. With up to 24  phase power, Dual CPU Power and Power Phase Boost with Multi-gear  Switching, the world&#8217;s leading motherboard CPU power technology will  soon be available on performance and even mainstream motherboard models  instead of only being available on extreme models, as it was been in the  past.</p>
<p><strong>Dual CPU Power</strong></p>
<p>GIGABYTE&#8217;s proprietary Dual CPU Power  technology allows CPU VRM power phases to split evenly into 2 sets of  power engines that operate in tandem. This allows 1 set of power phases  to rest while the other is active as opposed to a traditional power  design where all the power phases are always active. So GIGABYTE Dual  CPU Power effectively halves the amount of work done by each set of  power phases to significantly increase motherboard durability and  reliability.</p>
<p><strong>Driver MOSFETs</strong></p>
<p>By incorporating the MOSFETs  and driver IC in accordance with the Intel® Driver-MOSFET specification,  GIGABYTE 6 series motherboards allow higher power transfer and  increased efficiency at higher switching frequencies to satisfy the  power requirements of modern processors. Driver-MOSFETs also help to  reduce VRM real estate requirements for a cleaner, less cluttered CPU  zone.</p>
<p><strong>GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ with 3TB+ HDD Support</strong></p>
<p>GIGABYTE  DualBIOS™ is a patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data  when the main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS  ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows quick and seamless  recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS  updating.</p>
<p>In addition, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ now supports booting from hard  drives that are 3TB (terabytes) or more without the need for  partitioning, and effectively provides future-proofing for higher volume  single drive data storage.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on the GIGABYTE Tech  Daily blog and the official GIGABYTE motherboard website for more  information and announcements about upcoming GIGABYTE 6 series of  motherboards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LG Display, a leading innovator of TFT-LCD technology, announced today that it has launched the 23-inch 240Hz LCD for monitors (dual monitor  and TV use) that refreshes at a rate of 240 frames per second to deliver  clear picture quality with no ghosting effect.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tech2day.com/wp-content/images10/lg-240hz-ips-lcd-monitor.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1230  aligncenter" title="lg-240hz-ips-lcd-monitor" src="http://www.tech2day.com/wp-content/images10/lg-240hz-ips-lcd-monitor.jpg" alt="lg-240hz-ips-lcd-monitor" width="475" height="321" /></a><br />
LG Introduces 23-inch 240 Hz IPS LCD Panel for Monitors</p>
<p><span id="more-1229"></span></p>
<p>The industry  have been engaged in a heated race to improve the motion picture  response time (MPRT), unveiling products with refresh rates of 120Hz or  240Hz which are respectively twice and four times as fast as broadcast  signals (60Hz).</p>
<p>However, the technology has mostly been applied to LCD  panels for high-end TV panels that are 40-inch or larger. This is the  first time that 240Hz technology was applied in a 23-inch product under  mass production.</p>
<p>The  full HD 23-inch 240Hz LCD panel was developed by combining 120Hz  technology (refreshes 120 images per second) with scanning backlight  technology which enables a backlight to be repeatedly turned on and off.</p>
<p>Boasting a refresh rate that is four times higher than regular  60Hz monitors and twice as high as 120Hz monitors, the 240Hz LCD  significantly reduces motion blur to make it less strenuous on the  viewer&#8217;s eyes and deliver true-to-life images.</p>
<p>LG Display&#8217;s  copper bus line technology was employed for fast processing of vast  amounts of image data. As a result, the product has an motion picture  response time of 8ms (millisecond), akin to a large premium TV, to  eliminate motion blurring for fast moving images.</p>
<p>Moreover, the 240Hz  LCD features IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology for no distortion in  color or images from any viewing angle which makes products ideal for  TVs.</p>
<p>In the past, monitors in the 20-inch range were mainly  used for word processing, but expansion of the multimedia environment  has extended their application to games, videos, and even second TV  sets.</p>
<p>The 23-inch 240Hz LCD panel from LG Display should allow consumers  to enjoy vibrant images and picture quality they expect from a  large-size TV on their monitor or a smaller, second TV.</p>
<p>Ha  Hyun Hwoi, LG Display&#8217;s VP and head of the IT business unit, noted,  &#8220;This product was designed to meet expectations of consumers who are  already used to superior picture quality and high motion picture  response time. LG Display will continue with efforts to introduce  products that deliver new value to our customers and consumers.&#8221;</p>
<p>According  to research firm DisplaySearch, the market for 26-inch and below LCD  products, which are primarily for dual monitor/TV use, is expected to  grow by more than 20% from 49 million units in 2009 to 60 million units  in 2010.</p>
