One of the biggest benefit of using a hybrid HDD is its ability to take advantage from both world: the storage capacity of a mechanical hard drive and low latency of a SSD. Now after more well known Seagate Momentus and Intel Z68, Apacer joins the playfield with their hybrid solution, PHFD (PCIe Hybrid Flash Drive.) The PHFD is a PCIe SSD which serves as a cache device for mechanical hard drive. The most frequently used data or programs will stays in SSD for faster retrieval by operation system, hence the improvement of overall system performance. Apart from being a cache device, PHFD can also serve as a RAID controller, arraying the SSD and hard drive to form a RAID 0 or 1 array. This somehow feels very similar to Marvell's hybrid solution, one would be left to wondering if the same technology was deployed on both solutions.

In addition to hybrid HDD, Apacer also showcases a NAS service called "Web Disk", which, strictly speaking, falls in the domain of a private cloud. All operations can done through browsers in web-based interface, consumes 8 watts per hour or more, supports multimedia playback in browser for browser-supported file formats and should be available sometime this autumn.

In this Computex, Zinwell showcases their iPad2TV and iPhone2TV. In short, it's a mechanism which transmits iPad or iPhone screen to other display device via WiFi. By simply plugging signal transmitter to iPad 2 and receiver to display device, screen will then be transmitted for display on display device.

This product is compatible with iDevice, however it will adjust display according to source, for instance iPad 2 can goes up to 1080p while iPad and iPhone 4 stays at 480p. The transmitter have a 2500mAh battery, and a button to switch WiFi channel. This product is yet to be approved by Apple, and sample on display is somehow simple and crude, not the final retail product. The estimated time for official release is sometime in this autumn.

• In future, BIOS from Insyde will have Chromium browser (from the same open-source project as Google Chrome browser)
• The built-in Android OS will be updated to version 2.3
• UEFI is now ready (Insyde have started their UEFI implementation since 2001)
• Support for Intel's latest iFFS technology

Since end-products which implements Insyde BIOS may not always have 3G capability, Insyde have developed their own version of App Market called Insyde Market. In addition to updating the built-in Android to version 2.3, Insyde have developed customized launcher for it, which includes animated desktop and icon layout similar to Honeycomb. A version of launcher with interface similar to iPad also went on display too. The build-in Chromium browser can run most app from Chrome Web Store.

BIOS wise, in addition to UEFI implementations, support for recently announced Intel iFFS was added. The iFFS technology was something Intel developed specifically for SSD to allow a SSD to be correctly resumed from OS suspension even after a power-outage (i.e. battery ran out during the suspension period.)
