These memory modules are geared toward use in various portable devices, and once the new modules arrive in early 2010, it likely won’t be long before we see a range of new pocket-sized gadgets using the higher 64GB capacity, including future iterations of Apple’s iPhone.

Toshiba is currently Apple’s flash supplier for the iPhone 3GS, according to iSuppli. Recent rumours have hinted that the fourth-generation iPhone will arrive next summer, and although neither Apple or Toshiba has commented, it seems only logical that the next iPhone will be packing 64GB of flash memory.

64 GB is enough storage for 1,000 hours of music, 8 hours of HD video and 19 hours of SD video–a nice upgrade from the current 16GB and 32GB iPhone capacities.

Toshiba’s 64GB memory module will have a sample shipment later this month, with it entering mass production in the first quarter of 2010.

All featuring the “I’m a PC” slogan, the ads follow four PC users as they go globe-trotting to their respective manufacturer’s HQ, where they then talk about a new feature of Windows 7 that they supposedly wanted in the new OS. The four features mentioned include the new easy-to-use wireless networking features, improved startup times, a great entertainment machine and the new touch features.

“The campaign is an extension of the “My Idea” Windows 7 launch campaign – but this time we went a little ‘larger than life’ with the core creative idea and we used actors to voice the feedback and input we received towards Windows 7 rather than using the real people who participated in our Windows focus groups as featured in our first round of ads” Lisa Hickson, Marketing lead for Consumer and Online at Microsoft Australia said.

“[The result was] A series of entertaining ads, each with a different take on the ‘My Idea’ campaign – and actors representing the thousands of voices that we listened to from across the globe.”

All four ads will be showing across Channel 9, Channel 7 and Channel GO! and you can watch them now on Windows 7 Australia’s YouTube page.

The company’s proactive battery-replacement program will offer new batteries, free of charge, for those end-users owning either of the AMILO Pa2510, Pi2512 and Pi2515 notebook models. Until the time that the new battery will have been delivered, customers are urged to remove the old batteries and only operate their laptops when directly powered by the AC power adapter.

The “Amilo P Battery Exchange Program” was brought about following a limited number of reports from customers, reports that outlined the overheating issues and the inherent fire hazard.

Fujitsu isn’t the only company recently faced with faulty or otherwise quality-challenged, mass-produced goods. Not much over a month ago, Sony was forced to recall about 69,000 Vaio Adapters that posed the danger of electrocution.

HP, on the other hand, was faced with a situation rather similar to Fujitsu’s, although somewhat earlier this year (in May to be exact), when it had to recall about 70,000 laptop batteries of its own. Consumers may only hope that corporations will implement a more arduous quality-checking procedure in order to avoid future situations where faulty products endanger the wellbeing of both end-users and the company itself.

In order to remedy the current situation, those customers who possess the aforementioned AMILO Pa2510, Pi2512 and Pi2515 notebook models are urged to apply for a new battery. Eligible end-users may do so by visiting Fujitsu’s official website.

End-users may also use this direct link in order to immediately apply for a new battery.
