#MEMS: "Sand 9 Downsizes Cell Phones"
If you crack the case on any cell phone--smart or dumb--you'll find that the biggest, clunkiest components inside are the crystal oscillator "cans." Now Sand 9 has eliminated the need for those bulky components with a sub-millimeter MEMS substitute, enabling a new era of thinner, lighter, better performing cell phones that drop fewer calls: R.
