Phase-change memory (PCM) is a fast, low-power, random-access, nonvolatile and potentially low-cost memory technology. PCM chips are the first to be based on phase-change chalcogenide alloys, similar to the film used to store information on compact disc-rewritable (CD-RW) and DVD-RAM optical discs. The technology is also known by other names, including PCRAM and PRAM.

Industry:Technology
Data-centric handheld computer weighing less than 1 pound that is designed primarily for use with both hands. These devices use an open-market OS supported by third-party applications that can be added into the device by end users. They offer instant on/off capability and synchronization of files with a PC. A PDA may offer WAN support for voice, but these are data-first, voice-second devices.
Industry:Technology
Broad range of voice and data telecommunications services that enable people to communicate via two-way radio phones based exclusively on digital technologies such as CDMA and GSM. Characteristics of PCS include personal numbers assigned to individuals rather than devices, near-wireline-call-transmission quality, low-power and lightweight mobile devices, enhanced call completion, call billing and call management services. PCS networks operate at 1,800MHz in the U.K. and at 1900MHz in North America.
