(InfoWorld) - South Korea's three big cellphone makers are speeding the path to higher speed data downloads over wireless networks. Samsung Electronics,Â LG Electronics, and Pantech have all unveiled this month their first phones that are compatible with 7.2MbpsÂ variants of HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) networks. HSDPA is a packet data transmission technology used on WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) networks. First generation HSDPA networks supported speeds of up to 1.8Mbps. This was doubled in second generation systems and now third generation (3G) are rated as high as 7.2Mbps. The speed is a theoretical maximum download speed and users are unlikely to hit that in real world usage, but nevertheless they will see a relative jump in download speed from generation to generation. The phones are appearing as Korea's carriers begin switching on the latest upgrades and increasing transmission speed. The same thing is happening elsewhere in the world. In Asia, Singapore's StarHub switched on a 7.2Mbps HSDPA network on Aug. 4, and the Netvigator Everywhere service from Hong Kong's PCCW that was launched this week also uses such a network. Networks in various European countries are also offering the faster downloads. Between them the three South Korean handsets share more than high-speed downloading: all are slider-type phones and have 2-megapixel cameras. The LG-SH150 and Pantech IM-U210 will cost about 500,000 won ($531) and the Samsung SCH-W300 will cost around 600,000 won. With the upgrades to 7.2Mbps the HSDPA technology isn't done yet. Future upgrades are envisaged to boost speeds to 14.4Mbps and work is continuing on a new generation that will push speeds even higher. There's also a companion technology called HSUPA (high-speed uplink packet access) that can boost upload speeds from phones to the network. These networks generally offer around 2Mbps at present.

(InfoWorld) - Samsung Electronics is sampling a new type of flash memory device that could make it easier for makers of mobile phones and MP3 players to increase the storage capacity of their products. Samsung's moviNAND devices combine a NAND flash memory chip, an MMC (multimedia card) controller, and some firmware into a component that's small enough to be used in the latest portable electronics products, the company said. Samsung has started shipping samples of 1GB and 2GB moviNAND chips to manufacturers and will begin mass producing them later this month. It plans to introduce 512MB and 4GB capacities by the end of this year, it said. MoviNAND solves allows device makers to include a large amount of flash memory in their products while still using a standard serial interface, the company said. "The significance of the MMC interface is that the complexities of the native NAND interface and management are completely abstracted from the [portable device]," Samsung spokesman John Lucas said via e-mail. In addition, the MMC interface performance better than other standard interfaces because it has an 8-bit wide bus, allowing data to be processed at up to 52MB per second, he said. NAND flash has become popular for its ability to store large amounts of data at relatively low cost and to retain that data when devices are switched off. It's used in memory sticks, memory cards and digital music players such as Apple Computer's iPod. Other NAND makers include Toshiba, Hynix Semiconductor, and IM Flash Technologies. It's one of several recent flash memory advancements from Samsung. On Monday the South Korean companyÂ showed off a 32GB NAND flash memory chipÂ built using an advanced, 40-nanometer manufacturing process.
