Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 announced ZDNN has a first look at Adobe's new Creative Suite 2.0, which includes updated versions of Photoshop, GoLive and Acrobat. "The main advantage of this suite [...] is its ability to share images produced in one program with another program. Version Cue 2.0, a file management utility, maintains version control, while Adobe Bridge, a new application, allows designers to synchronise colour settings throughout the suite and preview images from within any Creative Suite program, whether or not they were created by that program. The suite also includes access to Adobe's library of stock images." More.

20 GB iPod minis feasible with Hitachi's new drives CNET reports on an advancement in drive storage density achieved by Hitachi that would feasibly allow 20 GB iPod minis. "Widespread commercial deployment of perpendicular drives will occur with the 230 gigabit per square inch drives in 2007 [...] The technology will allow Hitachi to come out with a 20GB microdrive, which has a diameter of 1 inch, and a 3.5-inch drive for PCs and digital video recorders that will hold a terabyte."
