Fujio Masuoka already proven himself once with a little invention known as flash memory, and it now looks like he’s aiming to deliver a follow-up with some newfangled three-dimensional semiconductors, which he says will allow for processors that are ten times faster than current designs. While exact details on the technology are still on the light side, Masuoka (who’s currently CTO of Unisantis Electronics) will apparently be working with Singapore’s Institute of Microelectronics to develop the 3D chips, which he expects to be ready in two years. All that additional know-how won’t come without a price however, as Digital World Toykyo reports that Masuoka will be paying royalties to the Singapore government as he licenses the chips out to various manufacturers.

So we’re not too sure what’s going on with this here “NEON100″ from HTC that just found its way through the FCC’s bureaucratic labyrinth. Is it yet another Touch variant? Yeah, it clearly is — just take a good hard look at that label sample. It’s also recently passed through Japan’s certification process, and we’re seeing some talk across the ‘nets that it could be destined for NTT DoCoMo, but we don’t think it’s the HT1100 since we’re not seeing any hint of a slide here. Even more confusing, the test reports are referencing WCDMA Band V — North America’s version of WCDMA on the 850MHz band, versus Japan’s Band VI. Ah, screw it, the point is that we’re pretty sure this isn’t destined for the States unless it’s tucked neatly away in the briefcase of a Japanese traveler. Shame, too, since we sure could use a Touch with 3G ’round here.
