Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts dazzled a cable industry audience Tuesday, showing off for the first time in public new technology that enabled a data download speed of 150 megabits per second, or roughly 25 times faster than today’s standard cable modems.

Hitachi announced that it began shipping its new 7200-rpm, 200GB 2.5-inch hard drive to notebook manufacturers.

Avalon Business Systems, developer of mail management utilities for use with Lotus Notes mail systems, announced the release of ReduceMail Pro Handheld Search, a mail search utility for handheld device users with Lotus Notes mail.

Many handheld users have limited access to mail content that is older than 30 days from their devices. In addition, many search utilities can only search mail content that is present on the device; they cannot search mail content that is back at the office. This limitation can create difficulties for remote users who need to research content from the past to satisfy customer requests, respond to requests, or simply remind themselves about the history of the client interaction.

ReduceMail Pro Handheld Search searches mail content via a handheld user query and returns a summary of mail data. Users are able to access all mail content from a handheld device with limited storage space. As with all ReduceMail Pro products, Handheld Search is user friendly, robust, and easy on the Lotus Notes administrator.
