Avaya released new Mobile app - IP Office 8.0

The mobility application for Avaya IP Office 8.0 is called "one-X Mobile Preferred for IP Office." It currently provides unified communications capabilities on Android-compatible devices; within several weeks, Avaya will be rolling out similar functionality for iPhones.

The feature set was developed with the mobile worker in mind -- someone who increasingly is blending work, home and travel, and needs to be able to access a multitude of applications, Scotto said.

IBM researchers make 12-atom magnetic memory bit

Researchers have successfully stored a single data bit in only 12 atoms.

Currently it takes about a million atoms to store a bit on a modern hard-disk, the researchers from IBM say.

They believe this is the world's smallest magnetic memory bit.

According to the researchers, the technique opens up the possibility of producing much denser forms of magnetic computer memory than today's hard disk drives and solid state memory chips.
