As part of the alliance with Pecan Street, OnStar will make its smart gridinterface available so researchers can develop new services and gather data on driver and vehicle behavior.
OnStar started out in 1996 as a wireless service for Cadillac owners that provided driving directions and emergency assistance but is now morphing into an interface between electric cars and the grid.
SanDisk has announced their first new enterprise SSD since they purchased Pliant a couple of months ago and their iSSD ball grid array storage product for tablets and other mobile devices has been adopted as a SATA interface standard.
