Hitachi nearly done with its 100GB Blu-ray disc
Clearly oblivious to the disinterest storms Blu-ray and HD-DVD are kicking up around the world, Hitachi has been bravely working away on increasing the storage capacity of Sony’s expensive blue discs. Perhaps a 100GB one will make people bothered about HD formats?

Hitachi set to revolutionise computing with 3D holographic displays
Waaaaaay back when we were impressed with 2MB broadband, 2.5-megapixels in our digital cameras, and no-one could ever possibly imagine the downfall of Britney Spears, Hitachi announced an amazing new piece of technology which promised to revolutionise computing AS WE KNEW IT.

Hitachi W51H hi-res mobile phone
Hitachi don't sell their mobile phones here in the UK, but their latest model, the W51H, makes me wish they did. It's just been announced in Japan, and is a clamshell phone with a monster 2.9-inch display with 480×800-pixel resolution….
CES 2007: Memorex 160GB Ultra TravelDrive USB hard drive

CES 2007: Hitachi’s 1 Terabyte hard drive
Imagine how much stuff you could store if you had a one-terabyte hard drive. You don’t have to: Hitachi Global Storage has helpfully supplied some suggestions. 1TB is enough for 333,000 high-res JPG photos, two years worth of MP3 tunes,…
