It seems like just yesterday I was ranting About how little RAM is available on our Pocket PC devices compared to the expansion memory the you can buy off the shelves at your local drugstore -- OK it was two days ago. Apparently, Samsung heard my call and his developed a working prototype of a 512 MB dynamic random access memory for mobile products. The chip may be available as early as midyear 2005 'Samsung (Seoul, South Korea) said the chip is fast enough to support 3D graphics and streaming video in next-generation mobile phones, PDAs, portable scanners, and other handheld products.
Operating on 1.8 volts, the chip will be available in double data rate (DDR) and synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) formats. Samsung will also develop DRAM versions in multichip and system-in-a-package (SIP) devices.' via Pocket PC Thoughts
Now this is looking interesting, I wonder when we'll see the first microdrives being incorporated, and things like 2gb internal memory. Wouldn't 2gb ram + 8gb internal memory standard be nice?
I think in 2 or 3 years we're going to look back and wonder what we were thinking "Remeber how excited we were when our devices had 128mb ram and a 500mhz processor? And you couldn't even run windows applications. Sheesh"
Personally, I look back to the year 2000 where many of the networks I consulted with a desktop computers en masse that were much less powerful than my Pocket PC. Many of those machines were simply Pentium one machines 2 GB of RAM 400 MHz processor. Pocket PC is catching up, yes slowly but still catching up.
