Samsung has announced some new software that will boost the built-in memory on it’s Smartphones. The memory in question is the embedded flash memory portion within devices (i.e. OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND and moviNAND).
Apparently the “boost” is that of performance – as we know, with any kind of request/retrieve operation to memory (be it solid-state or other), there is a lag time (albeit usually tiny) involved.
In effect, says Business Wire, those data movements within the memory, that are given instructions by the operating system, are speeded up. The new file system/flash driver combination, when working with any of the memory chips and the operating system, will boost performance through faster booting, downloading and searching.
So there you go! Will we notice it? Probably not explicitly, but anything that reduces those pauses that all devices occasionally have when processing user commands will be a good thing……

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
