Posted in: nav, navigation, Today's Chili, tomtom

TomTom and Fujitsu Ten are back with a new in-dash nav system. An update of the ECLIPSE AVN2210p, the AVN4430 houses a removable 4.3-inch WQVGA touchscreen TomTom GPS (which also functions as a stand-alone unit), as well as a full-featured CD / DVD / MP3 / WMA player, iPod audio and video support, iPod controls and a USB port. This guy is the winner of the CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering award, so keep your eyes peeled for it when you hit Las Vegas.

Fujitsu puts the kibosh on possible sale to Western Digital

Posted in: business, deal, hard drive, HardDrive, industry, storage, Today's Chili

It seemed nearly imminent that Fujitsu would be selling off its hard disk division to rival Western Digital, but apparently something has gone awry. According to Fujitsu President Kuniaki Nozoe, there is currently “zero chance” of a deal being done, though he did confess that the two had sat down and contemplated changing their statuses to “it’s complicated.” Unfortunately, that’s about all we have to go on for the moment, especially when you consider that WD’s take on the whole ordeal is a concise “no comment.” Who knows, maybe this is just cold feet or something, or maybe Fujitsu simply realized that it was better off saving itself for the one.
