ENGADGET: Apple seeds iOS 6 beta 4 to developers: here's the changelog
Using a combination of HDD and flash memory in either a hybrid HDD or a dual storage notebook computer, where frequently used data (and possibly the operating system and application software) is kept in the flash memory, while the bulk of user content is kept on the HDD, has been shown to provide about 80% of the performance improvements of a pure SSD-based computer.
The company is also making phones based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile software and its own Bada operating system.
Microsoft is hated chiefly because it represents the opposite model, proprietary software, and because its operating system, Windows, is the main rival to Linux, the best-known open-source software today.
Rivals are releasing a flood of tablets and phones powered by Google's Android operating system and other software.
Corona's software includes an embedded Java operating system and a new variant of the old X-Windows software, which allowed for the creation of hardware-independent graphical user interfaces much like those of Windows or the Macintosh operating system.
Rather than offering a self-sufficient machine with a bulky hard drive and a bolted-on web browser, Google is pushing new operating system software and hardware, in the form of its Cr-48 laptop built to live online.
The machines will be designed to configure themselves by installing new operating system software and data automatically.
All of this is possible because of virtualization, a process which increases effectiveness by inserting a level of software between the operating system and the hardware.

GELI, on the other hand, is building the operating software specifically for running energy storage equipment, and the operating system will enable batteries to perform many more tasks, Wartena said.
Dr Tevanian said he thought so, and explained that bundled software was available separately and could be removed without destroying the operating system.
In May, Microsoft announced that it had a new research program under way, aimed at developing an operating system and software development tools for robots.
Only the work horses of servers and its operating system software hold their primacy, but with computer hardware shipments in decline, even software profits could be challenged.
To safely operate in the mobile industry, a company needs to have substantial portfolios in the three main patent areas involved in the design of smartphones: operating system and software, hardware and wireless patents.

The device's novel tablet controller stayed judgment for a short time, but it didn't last long -- a weak launch lineup, a slow operating system and software delays soured an already judgmental community.
In May, Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) announced that it had a new research program under way, aimed at developing an operating system and software development tools for robots.
It has 95% market share in the productivity software market, 75% share in the operating system market and approximately 75% share in the server software market.
Their joint research and development body, CableLabs, has written specifications for an operating system and chosen a number of software languages in which applications software for the boxes may be written.
The segment offers operating systems, network services and workgroup computing software solutions based on the Linux open source operating system.
Microsoft's Windows 95 has dominated the U.S. desktop market because of its compatibility: users buy the operating system that has the most software available, and third-party developers produce software for the system that has the most users.
These new interfaces will lead to fundamental changes in the way that computer systems are controlled using operating system and general software.
In the Mac world, where Apple controls hardware, operating system, software, and all my iOS devices, an upgrade can make them all work better together.

For example, Apple's NetInfo technology is now available on the Linux operating system and Sassafras Software has built AppleTalk networking into its KeyServer product, Bereskin added.
And that's even without the benefit of the billions worth of costs Microsoft's online services business shares with money-spewing divisions built around Microsoft's operating system and business software.
In a Tuesday research note, Mizuho Securities analyst Abhey Lamba predicted Microsoft's closer ties will push more PC makers to produce machines that run on Google's Chrome operating system and other software besides Windows.
Under its shiny new skin, new hardware and software, such as a slimmed down version of Apple's OS X operating system and a flash memory drive, instead of the current iPod's mechanical hard drive, could keep the new device thin and light.
All the software, including the iOS mobile operating system and the Mac OS, is written here.
Valley folk point out that Judge Jackson thinks that a computer operating system and Internet browsing software should be separate.
Google's mobile software is based on the Linux operating system and was created in conjunction with a group of more than 30 technology companies called the Open Handset Alliance.
Microsoft's commitment to PC technology has kept it investing in operating system and office automation software for the last decade while losing more than two-thirds of its market share in smartphone operating systems and delaying its entry into the fast-growing tablet business--places where Apple has had astoundingly profitable revenue growth.
