Abstract: A portable media device and a method for operating a portable media device are disclosed. According to one aspect, a battery-powered portable media device can manage use of a mass storage device to efficiently utilize battery power. By providing a cache memory and loading the cache memory so as to provide skip support, battery power for the portable media device can be conserved (i.e., efficiently consumed). According to another aspect, a portable media device can operate efficiently in a seek mode. The seek mode is an operational mode of the portable media device in which the portable media device automatically scans through media items to assist a user in selecting a desired one of the media items.

Abstract: Improved approaches to update computer program code residing within a computing device are disclosed. By maintaining a former version of the computer program code, the computing device remains operable even if the update to the computer program code fails. Hence, the invention permits reliable updates to computer program code, which is particularly useful for firmware (e.g., boot-up code) of computing devices. For control and security, each version of computer program code can include authentication information. Before the computer program code is used, the computer program code can be required to be authenticated using the authentication information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed for performing 3D animation of an object using limited hardware resources. When an object is rotated, the size of the object displayed progressively increases, thus taking up more memory, CPU, and other hardware resources. To limit the impact on resources as an object becomes larger, the electronic device may select to display more small frames of the object at a higher frame rate, and fewer large frames at a lower frame rate, thus providing a uniform 3D animation.
