How do you play evony on your iPod?

Short answer: you can't. Evony is a web browser flash game; it is designed for a regular computer. I suppose theoretically if any device has web browser and flash capabilities then Evony could be played on the device except it requires a LOT of memory and the GUI would be so small as to make it unworkable.


What is the function of flash memory card?

A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices.


How does compact flash memory work?

"CompactFlash is a form of Flash Memory that allows data to be stored on a small, ultra-portable device with no moving parts (like a SATA or IDE harddrive) and no constant stream of energy (like your computers RAM). The difference with CompactFlash from other forms of flash storage (like a USB disk), CompactFlash has a controller chip which allows more storage."

What's a memory key?

A memory key usually refers to a small storage device that can store and transfer files with a computer after plugging it into a USB port. It is called a key due to its small size and the fact that many memory keys can connect to keychains for convenience. Memory keys usually hold around 64 megabytes or more of data, and are usually flash memory based, meaning that the data stored in the memory will remain unchanged even after it is disconnected from a power source.


What storage devices contains no moving parts and connect directly to a USB port?

Assuming you mean a data-storage device (for use with computers) then the most clear cut answer would be a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM, neither of which have any moving parts by themselves. The disc-reader however would have moving parts which may negate the idea of a stationary storage device.Flash memory is another form of storage which is commonly found in USB drives and small electronics. It has no moving parts.

Where can I find more information on flash memory?

Flash drives, or solid state memory drives are beneficial because they are a small convenient way to move even large amounts of data from one computer to another.


Flash memory: A Faster and More Reliable way to Manage Data?

Anyone who owns a computer, a digital camera, or other digital communication product has heard about flash memory. Flash memory encompasses a wide range of products such as Thumb Drives, USB Drives, CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, SD Cards, and solid state drives. In fact, the basic instructions that allow a computer to begin its boot process are stored on a type of flash memory called a BIOS.Flash memory is a specialized type of electronic device that is part of the EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory) family of devices. However, what separates flash memory from other EEPROM devices is that flash memory can be erased and written to in large sections in contrast to individual bytes. Flash devices are nonvolatile memory storage devices. This means that data stored onto them is held, even after power has been removed.Because of the availability and diversity of digital products, there is a growing need for storage solutions that not only work faster and more reliably, but can hold larger quantities of data. Hard drive capacities have been increasing at an astronomical rate, but because they contain moving parts, their storage speed ability and reliability are limited. Increased speed and reliability coupled with their small size, portability, and lower power consumption are all reasons why flash memory is fast becoming the preferred data storage solution.When looking to upgrade or replace a flash memory card that is part of an electronic device, other than a computer, the type of card purchased is important. New flash memory is faster and will have a larger storage capacity, but they are not backwards compatible. Some devices were designed with standard flash memory in mind, so HC (high capacity) cards may not work in those devices. It is always best to review the owner"s manual, under the specifications section, to see what type of memory card the device requires. If the manual is not handy, one can try searching the manufacturer's website for the device specifications. In the event the device is no longer being produced, the memory card's information can be obtained from the label on the existing card.When purchasing flash memory for a computer system, the task becomes a lot easier. Most flash devices currently being sold are compatible with today's computer systems. The devices are designed to plug into a computer's USB port, where they are recognized by the operating system and become immediately available for use. At this time, the only specification that needs to be considered is whether the flash memory requires USB version 3. Indeed, most flash memory designed for computers are backwards compatible so a USB 3 device will still operate on a USB 2 or USB 1. X system; however, the device will not operate at its full speed.Flash devices are produced by many different manufacturers. However, it is advisable to acquire products from name brand manufactures to ensure a stable and reliable product has been purchased.
