On the 15th Febuary 2008, applications for Eircom’s Web Innovation fund will end. The fund was launched last november ‘to promote, mentor and sponsor innovative web applications in the Irish Internet industry‘, aimed at focusing on and stimulating web 2.0 technologies in the Irish market place, awards for successful submissions range from a financial contribution to the development of the product/project, Eircom products (from the broadband, ISP and hosting portfolio), marketing promotions and more - the fund is valued at 100,000EUR.

If your one of the Irish entrepreneurs out there with a product or project that fits the criterea, you have exactly 3 days to submit, which means RUN!!!!!! get submitting pronto. Even I think I may have something to qualify, and will be doing all I can to submit on time.

Intel have announced that, in partnership with Micron, they have discovered a way to double NAND type Flash Memory. The high speed flash memory will permit file transfers at an unprecidented speed whilst offering both miniaturisation and portibility.

The timing of both Intel and Apples announcement suggests that Apple has already taken advantage of this greater capacity memory, though that is purely speculation on my part.
