SpinPoint N2 could very well be the technology that could have the market ‘Spinning’ around Samsung for exclusive rights in the coming few moths. While the Western world is still largely aloof to the fact, Samsung is all set to release its new 1.8 inch 120 GB USB Drive in Chinese, Japanese and Korean markets very soon. Samsung is also reportedly pushing to have these new 1.8-inch drives in selected Apple devices such as the iPod and the MacBook Air.

It is not at all surprising that Samsung is pushing for its technology to be affiliated only with the best and the sleekest possible gadgets as it gives both the company and consumers a sense of exclusivity. But the best part of this tiny little piece of ‘Black Magic’ is that it is far more energy efficient than any of its predecessors. Apparently the device falls in the 0.8 to 1.4 watts range when active and 0.07 watts when in stand-by.

Unearthed images of the device point out that the Samsung SpinPoint N2 is small enough to fit your wallet with the price of N2 as much as $293 for the 120GB version. That should empty your pocket enough to make space for N2 and even then it still seems a pretty good buy.

According to what explained in implementing “Solar cells in portable devices”, the signature would be planning to integrate solar cells on its future devices, such as the iPod or iPhone. The document describes the procedures to be followed though, in short, as explained integrate these small panels in different devices.

The difficulty of this process is to find ways to add panels in size devices shortly. Apparently, the solution has found that Apple is to locate solar panels behind the LCD screens, so that they absorb ambient light that would pass through the screens. Should this process be successful, not only would benefit the environment but the life of batteries, which are at substantially lengthen.
